History of the Monitor Clock

The trademark MONITOR was issued to The Western Clock Mfg. Co. on August 2, 1910, number 79,089. The registration contains the statement "The trade-mark has been continuously used in our business since March 23rd, 1910."

Note that the Monitor name was also used on a non-descript pocket watch from 1927 - 1928, and later for commercial electric wall clocks.
