While I was out having coffee this morning, while checking news & messages on my laptop, I ran across this you-tube, black & white silent film that I found very interesting.
It introduces the Westclox Clock Manufacturing Company, discusses the types & quality of materials used, the equipment used, the quality & production of their line of timepieces offered which include the:
Big Ben (alarm clock)
Baby Ben (alarm clock)
Pocket Ben (pocket watch)
Westclox Auto Clock (a clock for your car)
Since I have some of these, I thought I would share them and a link to the Westclox Factory Silent Film for your enjoyment.

This is an early 20th century promotional film for the Westclox Clock Company. The film shows the manufacturing of the famous Westclox Big Ben Alarm Clocks. This is the full length film (29:53 minutes).
Shown are (2) Westclox Big Ben’s (white dial & black dial), a Baby Ben, a Pocket Ben & a Westclox Auto Clock.
I hope you enjoy this,
Dave

Hey Dave, great post and thanks for the link!
Dave,
These are really something special. The silent film is just absolutely fascinating! Not to mention seeing the old buildings, the old cars passing up and down the street and the way people dressed back then. Thanks for sharing!!!

I just stumbled onto the silent B & W you mentioned a couple days ago.
Was 29' well spent!
Cafeteria's, bowling alleys. A time that was, sadly.
The plight of the working stiff today in sharp contrast. Never to return.
