[00:00.00]REVIEW TWO
[00:-1.00]For this lesson you'll need a pencil and a piece of paper.
[00:-2.00]Jake is still working on his report about Stamford's companies.
[00:-3.00]both past and present.He's looking at old newspaper articles.
[00:-4.00]Listen carefully for any important informationand write down the dates that you hear
[00:-5.00]...You will hear the article twice.
[00:-6.00]Gee,here's an interesting article from the Gazette...
[00:-7.00]"Yale & Towne to Shut Down."Hmmm...1959.
[00:-8.00]That must have been when the company that makes locks left Stamford.
[00:-9.00]I wonder what happened.Let's see.
[00:10.00]"Yale & Towne announced last week that it would be closing its doors in Stamford this year.
[00:11.00]High costs and workers' dissatisfaction were given as reasons for the shutdown".
[00:12.00]Well,what do you know!
[00:13.00]Yale & Towne shut down because of high costs and unhappy workers.
[00:14.00]Yale & Towne has enjoned a prosperous history in Stamford.
[00:15.00]It was founded in October 1868 by two entrepreneurs.
[00:16.00]Linus Yale.Jr.and Henry Towne.Yale & Towne became successful overnight,
[00:17.00]and it is said that the success of the company brought Stamford into the industrial age.
[00:18.00]The number of workers peaked at Yale & Towne in 1916.
[00:19.00]In that year,six thousand five hundred men and women worked for the company.'
[00:20.00]Gee,six thousand five hundred.That's a lot of people.
[00:21.00]It must have really been big.I wonder when the trouble began.
[00:22.00]"Yale & Towne began to decline in Stamford in 1931,
[00:23.00]when it relocated some important offices to New York City.
[00:24.00]A crippling strike by workers in 1945 further damaged the company.
[00:25.00]As recently as four years ago."(must have been in 1955...)"
[00:26.00]we realized that Yale & Towne would eventually be leaving our city.
[00:27.00]Many people are sad to see it go."I bet they were sad.
