According to Albert Russel Erskine, young Clement served an apprenticeship with Studebaker, working in several departments and rising to a board position and treasurer. He is elsewhere recorded as having been the E-M-F company's vice-president, presumably after that company's take-over by Studebaker in 1910. By 1916, he had moved on to become president and chairman of the utility, North American Light and Power Company, the precursor of the North American Company.

At various times, he also served as president and chairman of the board of the Illinois Power and Light Company (and of its subsidiary, the Illinois Traction Company), and of the South Bend Watch Company, as well as treasurer of the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad. Around 1920, Studebaker moved to Chicago.
