Clock Advertisments--With the development of the American Clock, paper was applied inside the case to act as a block against dust, the number one enemy of timepieces. Obviously a fine medium for advertising, clockmakers were quick to take advantage. The history and development of clock labels is a story by itself. The wonder continues that now after some have been affixed for more than 120 years, whatever adhesive was used, they continue to stick!
