	A postcard showing the Western Clock Company in Peterborough. The city of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada was selected and a small factory building was obtained, and in January 1920 operations were started with a force of 20 employees. At this time, parts from the LaSalle-Peru plant were shipped to Peterborough for assembly. By mid-1921 about 10,000 four-inch clocks were being assembled per month.
Production gradually increased and larger facilities became necessary. Fifteen acres of land in Peterborough were purchased. The main building was four stories high and 160 feet long. It was first occupied in late December, 1922. For more information about Westclox and other Canadian clock makers visit the The Canadian Clock Museum in Deep River, Ontario. It is Canada's only clock museum.
