HISTORY OF WINNEBAGO COUNTY.

JAMES L. CLARK, is a native of Alton, Belknap Co., New Hampshire, and was born April 17, 1824. He received a common school education, and at an early age learned the carpen- ter and joiner trade. This occupation he continued in until 1855, when he emigrated to the West and located at its present home -Oshkosh. Here he followed his trade for two years, after which he engaged in the lumber business for about three years, and sub- sequently held the position of superintendent in the mills of dif- ferent parties. In 1863, he engaged in making match splints, hav- ing purchased from Daniel Ruggles a round splint machine. This machine was imperfect and Mr. Clark's inventive genius replaced it with a new one, which worked so successfully that he engaged exclusively in the manufacture of splints. Beginning modestly, his assistants consisted only of two persons, and the "sorting" was done at his house. In time, every room was so occupied. In July, 1864, he transferred his work-shop from his house to a building he had erected for his growing business, and the business grew in five years to an annual product of 820,000. Mr. Clark had started without means, but with energy, integrity and perse- verance, had slowly reached this point. He felt his efforts had been rewarded, and dreamed not of the mammoth establishment he would create in the following thirteen years. In 1868, he commeneed the manufacture of matches in a small way, branding them "Star Matches." The superiority of this make soon gained for it a general sale throughout the Northern and Western States, in con- sequence of which the business steadily increased. The daily capacity of the factory was two thousand gross (one gross of matches constituting 14,400 matches), requiring the use of gov- ernment stamps amounting to 8860,000 annually, being largely in excess of that paid by any other factory in the United States, and one-fourth of the entire amount paid the Government from this source. The factory consumed at the rate of 150 tons of brim- stone, 11 tons of phosphorus, 320 tons of straw board and paper, and 4,000,000 feet of lumber in the manufacture of these matches, annually, and Mr. Clark gave employment to nearly 600 hands. In the conduet of this immense establishment Mr. Clark was assisted by his son Herbert M. Clark, who was the superintendent. For the purpose of obtaining a full supply of the best straight- grained timber for splints, Mr. Clark erected in 1878, a mill for the purpose of sawing splint timber. In addition to this he manufaet- ured a superior brand of shingles. His success in that direction was noteworthy. In two years he ent more shingles than any other mill on the Wolf River, the product in 1879 being nearly 13,000,000, while in 1880 it reached 18,000,000. Mr. Clark sold his match works in December, 1880, and immediately erected the most complete carriage factory in the West. Mr. Clark is quiet and unassuming in his manners, and he possesses sterling qualities ; he has devoted himself untiringly to his business, and by combining industry, integrity and perseverance, he has given his adopted home two institutions that are a great benefit to the city in furnishing employment and support to so large a number of hands. Mr. Clark was married July 26, 1851, to Miss Sarah Flint, by whom he has had two sons, only one of whom, Herbert M., survives, and is now a partner with his father.
