Show "BUGGIES WILL NOT LAST" m m fe: it is IK - U "It's short-sighted to think the buggy will last much longer," said Henry Timken fifty years ago when there was talk about the new horseless carriages being- a fiul that would not last. And after fifty years, "Old" Henry, as he was affectionately called, could, if Ftill living, look upon The Timken Roller Bearing Company as it is today and be well pleased with the truth of his statement. As the company that bears his name celebrates half a century of progress in the manufacture of roller bearings for industry throughout the world there should be more than a passing nod given to "Old" Henry and men like him who made our industrial progress possible. Shown above is a buggy that some people thought could never be replaced by the gasoline car. There was even an attempt to lobby for anti-auto legislation. Below is one of the stream-lined cars of today. Inset shows Henry Timken, founder of the business that helped make the automobile the speedy, economical job it is now. |
