Mr. Clutch: The Story of George William Borg
()
About this ebook
In 1925, Borg, who wanted his own business independent of Borg-Warner, collaborated with William Greenleaf to develop a new venture in automobile clocks. Following a brief partnership with Greenleaf Corp. from 1926-1927, Borg set up the George W. Borg Corp, whose clocks first appeared in 1928. With the Depression soon at hand, Borg’s lower-cost clocks were in demand, and soon Borg clocks were sold as factory equipment in all the major car lines, including General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler.

Born in Beresford, South Dakota, he attended St. Mary’s College in St. Marys, Kansas from 1907-1911. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1918 and served at Verdun and Meuse-Argonne as an artilleryman. In 1920, Casey joined the Chicago Daily News, where he worked as a columnist and foreign correspondent for 27 years. He traveled through such sites as Indochina, Cuba, Pitcairn Islands, Easter Island and wrote about his adventures in newspaper columns and books. In 1940, Casey covered the blitz in London and its aftermath, and was in Hawaii and the Pacific right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. He continued to write for the Daily News until his retirement in 1947 and then turned to writing books and freelance newspaper articles. He died of a stroke in 1962 in Evanston, Illinois at the age of 72. DR. MARY WILLIAMS MONTGOMERY BORGLUM (1874-1955) was a writer and the wife of John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum, the renowned creator-sculptor of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Born in Marash, Turkey, on November 21, 1874, the daughter of Giles and Emily (Redington) Montgomery, she was educated at Hillhouse High School in New Haven, Connecticut. She received her B.A. from Wellesley College, Massachusetts in 1896 and became only the second woman to obtain a Ph.D. from Berlin University, Germany in 1901. She also studied in France. She married Gutzon Borglum in Short Beach, Connecticut in 1909 and the couple had two children, James Lincoln and Mary Ellis. In addition to the biography of her husband, Mary Borglum was also the author of Told in the Gardens of Araby (with Izora Chandler). She died in Corpus Christi, Texas on August 16, 1955 at the age of 80.
