Mr. P. H. Wheeler, the Superintendent of the Company, has been for many years engaged in developing watch-making machinery, and the testimonials from his former employers testify to his business ability, ukili, and integrity. The machinery of which the founders are possessed has been perfected under his superintendence and a considerable part thereof is of his inven- tion.
Besides the Machinery, the founders are possessed of ten thousand watches in various stages of completion which are the out-turn of the said Machinery; and material on hand
