When the Civil War broke out Mr. Turnbull was 39 years old. He is & mative of Palaley, Scotland. He came to America when 18 years of age, making the hasardous journcy across the Atlantic in a sailing ves- sel, passing eight weeks and two days on the storm tossed ship. He landed in New Britain years ago, when the city was but & village which had not yet suffered from growing pains. He hung up his Scotch bundle in a shack along- side a cow pasture and joined the| gatherings of neighborhoods at the village store, where he participated in the discussions of the activities of Elihu Burritt, then in the of international peace. Early in the morning the young | Scotchman, an apprentice carpen- ter, arose, washed at the pump out- side the kitchen door and with nis lunch under his arm walked through the pastures to his work. Where the Stanley Rule & Level plant now stands, he was wont as were others on hot summery days to stop and take a awim. A small wooden shack, about the size of the modern garage, and which gave employment to three persons stood alongside a stream which flowed where the New Ha- ven railroad station now stands. This shack has grown until today it covers a wide territory and as Landers, Frary & Clark has a total capitalization of more than $12.- 000,000, a sum undreamed of in those early days. Linked with the growth and de- velopment of this concern, ome of | the greatest in the world in its | line, is the story of Andrew Turn- bull. As he hitched his horse to the public hitching post adjoining the city scales where Central park now stands, or sat on the banks of the stream where the railroad tracks came later, he saw visions. The public scales were not accurate enough, so the Turnbull scale, the | forerunner of the present spring balance scale, came into being. He saw visions of the eity's growth, even as he saw it grown in | reality. As the old gas house dis- appeared from Commercial strect interests and a police station took its place, | so the old hand operated elevator 77 New Britain's | foremost citizen, who was in Europe | bull hydraulic litt, which did serv- ice until a few years ago. In New Yorg today a hydraulic water tower used for fighting flames is the invention of Turnbull. As the steel rails followed wooden strips and horse cars gave way to electric trolleys; while the tracks of the steam railroad helped the steam engines of that day an- nihilate distance at the reckless speed of 25 miles an hour; travelers went to sleep in wayside taverns at night, resting comfortably on the Turnbull spring bed, which later became the National Bed spring.
