...Ingersoll Man. It has been dominating Lehmkuhl's company for about 60 years. Founded in the mid-19th century as the Waterbury Clock Co., it tick-tocked along comfortably in Connecticut's Naugatuck River Valley until 1892. Then a mail-order promoter named Robert H. Ingersoll picked up a doughnut-sized (1 in. thick) Waterbury pocket watch, decided that it could be mass-marketed for a dollar. It was so gigantic a success that Theodore Roosevelt, hunting in Africa, found himself identified not as U.S. President but as "the man from the land where Ingersolls are made...
...York and Connecticut, low cloud formations closed in, and Ike got only occasional views of the flooded areas. Allentown, Pa. floated underneath, between cloud drifts, looking untouched by the flood.

Braving drizzly weather, the Democratic candidate made brief, open-air speeches in nearly every town through which he passed. Repeatedly he ridiculed Republican criticisms of his quip-studded speeches and hammered away at the Eisenhower-Taft alliance. He warned the staunch Democrats of industrial New Britain: "If the Republicans by some mischance are elected this fall, people calling the White House would have to ask which President is in today: the five-star general from Kansas...
...embarrass Senator Brien McMahon, a traditional-type politician. As chairman of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, McMahon had taken on the mantle of an atomic statesman, and he kept it wrapped determinedly about him. He paid no attention to his Republican opponent, ex-Congressman Joseph Talbot of Naugatuck (Yale LL.B. '25), another old school politico who was picked partly because he was, like McMahon, a Roman Catholic. Big and old-shoe friendly, Talbot toured the state in a blue-and-yellow sound truck emblazoned: "No red on my bandwagon," and accused Democrats of being naive about Communists...
