A title by Chauncey Jerome, who was a Clockmaker in the early
1800s. He made a fortune selling his clocks, and his business
became enormous. Deciding to go into business for himself, Jerome
began to make cases, trading them to Terry for wooden movements. In
1850 he formed the Jerome Manufacturing Co. as a joint-stock
company with Benedict & Burnham, brass manufacturers of
Waterbury. His future should have been secure but in 1855 he bought
out a failed Bridgeport clock company controlled by P.T. Barnum,
which wiped him out financially, leaving the Jerome Manufacturing
Co. bankrupt.
