MOSHER, Editor and Manager BEARING FACTORY • TO LOCATE HERE ,(Continued from front page) "The better to understand what is meant, something should be said of the re grinding business itself, because the new bearing is entirely and absolutely an outgrowth of this, and because, on that account, it is believed to be unique in the annals of manufacturing in this particular line. Th'® is primarily a service business, and as such is familiar to one section of the automobile industry, but perhaps to others it is entirely unfamiliar. j "Ball bearings of the better kind, ©specially in the early days of the business, were tremendously expensive; that is why so many plain bearings were used in the older cars, even though their designers knew perfectly well that anti-friction bearings would give a great deal better service. So when a bearing failed In use, or when, in overhauling, it was found that a bearing had worn so badly that it must be replaced, the item of ^ renewal expense became a really serious factor. "What more natural than that someone should conceive the idea of regTinding the raceways of rejected bearings, re-assemble them with larger balls--to compensate for the amount of metal taken away in restoring the working surfaces--and so give the parts a new lease of life? The idea was economically sound, and granted a proper measure of integrity in its application, capable of b€>ing developed along constructive, and not to say profitable lines, to the advantage of all concerned. This enterprise attracted the attention of C. J. Bender, founder and president of the Ahlberg Bearing Co. "He studied the proposition from all sides, saw its various angles, and in the course of building a business out of a mere conviction that such a thing was possible to achieve accomplished something else, which was of valid and very vital importance. That was the creation and evaluation of a brand. Without that, a reground bearing was just a reground bearing --one manufacturer's product which another had rebuilt. With it, as reputation developed, it became something approaching a new product. "Ahlberg bearings carry the identity of the original, but added to that is the indelible stamp on the cage of the re-manufacturer. Ahlberg bearings, branded in a certain way, packin a certain way and distributed through outlets established and maintained in the name of the business, thus have a second identity of their own. The essence of the business thus is the reputation that has been built, up around this brand, and the size and standing of the concerns attest the generous measure of success that has followed the blending together of intelligent and skilful method* with sound and straightforward business practice. "To understand how the CJB bearing came into existence it is necessary to follow the Ahlberg bearing a little further. The business, as it stands today, operates thirty-three branch houses in as many important commercial centers, which are its principal outlets, and two factories, oat of which is in Los Angeles. The main plant in Chicago, where the company's headquarters are, was built in 1919, enlarged in 1923, and as at present laid out, is arranged for further expansion as the growth of the business warrants. „ ftFrom the merchandising standpoint the regrinding business, which until recently has been the sole activity of the concern, is prcatically speaking, an exchange proposition. Its most direct application is illustrated in the case of any one of a number of large industrial organizations which sends in worn bearings from its plants to be , reground and returned for further use. Its commercialized application in the automobile field is illustrated in the case of the repair shop which exchanges worn bearings for reground bearings of the same size find type. "This system presupposes the maintenance of a very considerable inventory of1 old bearings in process and reground bearings in stock at the ; various branches, and puts the company right into the bearing business in a comprehensive way. With so widely diversified a line, operating at •O many points, the problem of keep- -- ing ahead of demand required tactful . solution. To 'take care of the customer' naturally was the main con- -aideration, and this led in time to the point where the company became a distributer for new bearings of vaj fious makes, as well as reground bearings bearing its own brand. The fact wat it was able to do so, by the way, V testifies to its standing in the trade And the respect accorded it by established bearing manufacturers. "But even this arrangement did not Wholly satisfy. There were gaps in < ^fftocks, sometimes; requirements which : ^<#ould not quite be met. In the meantime a fund of experience--product of ®he 'experience laboratory'--was bev- Ing accumulated which was leading *ery logically toward the point where j ihe concern, should itself begin to i manufacture bearings. And of the two considerations leading up tb this i decision, the first and most outstand fog was the constant check on the market that was being carried out through the operation of the branches. "In the natural course of the business, bearings brought in for exchange indicated the volume and character of the replacement demand, as *rell as its distribution. Where another bearing manufacturer, operat-. Ing very largely through the equipment end, might be better informed {j|s to the technical requirements of hearings fgr certain specific uses, the Ahlberg company held the checking -.;fV v concession on bearings covering every possible requirement and for every possible use in all lines of trade. Thus it became apparent that there was a substantial opportunity to market a new line of bearings in certain sizes and styles; notwithstanding the excellencies of existing products and the deeply rooted and substantial growth of the old-line ball bearing manufac<- turers. « "The other side of the story may be summarized in the phrase, 'percentage of rejections.' It is the answer of experience to the question, 'Why do ball bearings wear out?" The laboratory of experience puts it into understandable form. ' Many years of dull routine in disassembling old bearings, Inspecting, testing and grading them, In order to determine the percentages that were capable of being restored to life, as it were, had the effect of throwing thei spotlight on every weak point. That the company knows a good bearing when it sees one, is proved by the fact that it has built up a reputation around its brand of reground bearings. "Further than that, the processes involved in regrinding, assembling and testing, involve beyond a certain point in manufacturing routine, the identical processes that are involved in manufacturing new bearings from the point of grinding on. In other words, the Ahlberg Bearing Co. has been manufacturing ball bearings for many years, and has an established reputation in that line. "Granted so much, and it was a very natural step in the manufacturing end, to the point of manufacturing bearings out of new material, instead of reclaimed material. That, in a word, is the practical difference between the Ahlberg bearing and the CJB, which bears the initials of the man who made the Ahlberg what it is. "Practically the new bearing, in its assorted sizes and types, is a composite of the experience that is built into every Ahlberg bearing. But it is a new bearing, with all its life ahead of it, and it has a single, rather than a double identity. In appearance it is similar to the Ahlberg, having the same style of cage, for example, but it is distinguished from this product by its own trade-mark brand. "Special equipment for manufacture of the new product, was, of course an entirely new departure in the company's establishment. This is all of the latest and most efficient types available. Since 'CJ.B.' is putting his initials on the new product, his heart is in it. It is the result of years of painstaking consideration, leading by very gradual degrees -up to the point of determination. "From the initial stages on, the ground is familiar, and the organization most effectively manned. This is most important, because some of the most critical points in ball bearing manufacture come in the inspection, assembling and testing operations. This is where skilled craftsmanship counts, and the keymen in the shops have been with the outfit for years, many of them from the time when it started. "To this unusual history of a new ball bearing it is fit to add another word. Most manufacturers, when they embark on a new course, have something of a time, after all physical obstacles have been surmounted, in feeling out the market .experiment ing with different applications, establishing a reputation for the proudct and also developing a system of distribution. "Here, the product was created to fit a recognized demand, its reputation was practically made in advance, and the outlets were already in existence and operating, long before the new product came aong. Apparently, nothing but a habit of caution and methodical procedure prevented the CJB bearing from going on the market years ago." t i Classified Column FOR SALE--China closet, new. Phonie 20&-J.
