W. R. TIMKEN, Jr.
Chairman of The Timken Company
Family wisdom is everything. My great-grandfather, Henry Timken, told
my grandfather this: “Above all, don’t set your name to anything you will
ever have cause to be ashamed of.”
Two generations after Henry Timken, my father, W. R. Timken, told me
this:
“Hire the most capable people, develop them well, and let them work
you out of a job.”
Listen to your ancestors
