About this product
Product Information
Bristol, Connecticut has deep ties to the history of clock and watch making. While the early years of Bristol's history are well documented, less is known about Bristol's bustling 20th century clock industry. From 1900 to 1970, the factories of E. Ingraham Company and Sessions Clock Company dominated the city. Both companies were family businesses and treated their employees as an extension of that family. Philip Samponaro interviewed forty former Ingraham and Sessions employees to gain an understanding of life in the factories. Building from those interviews Samponaro examines the family and workplace cultures of the people who lived and worked in Connecticut's Clock City. The story is divided into two parts. The first considers family and work patterns at Ingraham and Sessions and the second examines the changes over seventy years within the cultures of family and work. Through the story of these workers, Samponaro delves into the story of the decline of the clock industry in the United States and gives insights into the history of labor, unions, politics, and gender.

Stellar seller. Not just that. I was able to contact and request an expedited delivery as this great book was a gift from me (the mentor) to my medical student (the mentee).
BOOM!! It arrived in short order, in time for its use before my student’s neuroscience course begins.
Now that’s customer service, attention, but more important than all (thoughts, speech, writing), is what you do!!! This seller did it!!!
