Watch-Papers.

Reading edition

Years ago it was the custom for watch-makers to put their business cards inside of the case. These cards were sometimes enlivened with a couplet or a verse, of each of which we subjoin a sample—

I labor here with all my might, To tell the hours of day and night; Therefore, example take by me, And serve the Lord as I serve thee.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
