some that we mustered up courage
and bought new clock.
And then ! did a little figuring. In
the course Of a year had spent an
average Of five minutes a day shaking
up that old clock on, say, 300 days,
making, to save the cost of new
clock, a gross total of time spent
amounting to l,500 minutes. You d.
vide this by TO and you find that had
spent in shaking up that blessed old
clock little more than 25 hours!
Now, in the way of income, you
know, l don't pretend to class up with
the Rockefellers and Carnegies and
that sort of fUiks, but figuring my
earning capacity on the modest basis
OF SO cents an hour I 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. baying the new clock
when we did instead of a year sooner,
we saved the wear on it in that
period, and if we count the life of
such clock at Say ten years we find
that We Lave 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 50 cents we have met
with a net loss Of $1243, 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

we had been, as in so many ways
we are prone ID 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"
