 The Dayton Scales Company

 A Short History of Dayton Scale Company
The Dayton Scale Division was part of Computing-Tabulating-Recording-Company (C-T-R Company) and International Business Machines (IBM) until June 1934, when the stockholders of IBM voted in a special meeting to sell the domestic assets of the Dayton Scale Division to Hobart Manufacturing Company of Troy, Ohio in return for 100,000 shares of Class B stock.

​At the time of the acquisition, the press reported that Dayton Scale employed 350 people in its plant there, and that annual sales were around $2.5 million per year (IBM's total revenues in 1934 was $21 million).

Two years later, in July 1936, the shareholders of IBM approved the transfer of the foreign assets to Hobart Manufacturing Company.
The Bigness of Little Things: Dayton Moneyweight Scale Company Customer Pamphlet
The following is an excerpt from a marketing brochure for Dayton Scales dated 1922.
Dayton Scales (Computing Scales of the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (C-T-R Company) are made by the world's pioneer and largest manufacturers of Automatic Computing Scales. For more than thirty years Dayton Scales have protected the merchant's profit. Their accuracy, dependability and durability are attested to by the fact that some of the first scales made are still in use and giving satisfactory service; and by the fact that Dayton Scales have won the approval of municipal, state and national governments. No other make of scales carry as sweeping a guarantee.

The Dayton Line is the world's standard, whether in the Automatic Thermostat Drum Type or the Gravity Principle Fan Type. This is evidenced by the fact that the largest business enterprises standardize on and use Dayton Scales. [Some of the still-recognizable, brand name customers included: Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, National Candy Company, Armour & Company, Canadian Pacific Railroad, International Harvester, Westinghouse Electric, Piggly Wiggly Corporation, and Swift Company.]
