HIS GRANDFATHER'S CLOCK

Is Still as Reliable as the Court House Clock.

When George Haller awakes in the morning he never misses thinking of the handiwork of his grandfather, from whom he learned his trade. Hanging on the wall is an old clock which is more reliable than the court house timepiece and nearly as accurate as a sun dial.

When his father came to this city in 1858 and opened a small jewelry store he received a clock to repair which was of German make. Upon taking it apart he discovered it was made by his father, who was still in that business in his Fatherland. The clock was owned by Charles Behr, who had received it for a wedding present, and from whom he endeavored to purchase it, but to no avail. His sou, George, came here a few years later and that same clock fell into his hands to repair and he finally gave in exchange for it a fine new eight day clock.
