ouILLsAcK BUYS A NEW CLOCK.
Then He Shows False Economy Of
Keeping Old One Too Long.

AT last" said Mr.. Quillback, we
have bought new clock, and good.
ness knows we needed It.
The Old clock was a small. round.
nickelplated timekeeper we had had
FOR some years, and in the course Of
time 1t began TO show signs of wear.
But we hated to 90 TO the expense OF
new clock as long as we could make
that one do, so we kept II, shaking her
up most every day for something Ike
a year until finally 1t got to be so tire
some that we mustered up courage
and bought new clock.
And then did little figuring. In
the course Of a year | had spent an
average Of Ave minutes a day shaking
up that old clock on, say, 300 days
making, to save the cost OF a new
clock, a gross total Of time spent
amounting to 1900 minutes. You d.
vide this by 60 and you find that had
spent in shaking up that blessed old
clock a little more than 25 hours
Now, in the way OF income, you
know. | don't pretend to class up with
the Rockefellers and Carnegies and
that sort Of folks, but figuring my
earning capacity on the modest basis
of 90 cents an hour / find that have
spent in shaking up that miserable old
ticker time to the value of $3.50! And
the new clock cost only SO cents!
"of course. buying the new clock
when we did instead OF year sooner,
we saved the wear on 1t in that
period, and IL we count the life OF
such a clock at say ten years we find
that we have thus saved about seven
cents worth Of wear on the new clock.
and this, properly, Of course, should be
deducted from the $3.50. but even at
that, in the best showing possible we
find that to save SO cents we have met
with net loss OF sl243, to say moth
ing OF the wear and tear on us caused
by the aggravation OF having to shake
the old clock up every day and make
It gol
We had been, as in so many ways
we are prone TO be, penny wise and
pound foolish, but we are learning
wisdom and we haven't got to shake
the old clock up any more, anyway"
