"Go About Your Business"
was for years the inscription on a large clock
in Temple Hall, London.
The clock maker received the order for
the big clock and was told to come back for
the vords to be inscribed in a space left
vacant for a motto.
Several times he called upon the old
benchers, who met in Temple Hall for
dinner, who, becoming annoyed at his
frequent calls, one of them angrily shouted
at him, "Go about your business."
The clock maker took it as the answer
to his question and carved it on the clock.
For a long time it was a good reminder to
the lawyers and the public frequenting
Temple Hall.
The high cost of living could be reduced
if we could commence our work earlier and
work one or two hours longer.
New machinery will have to be invented
to more rapidly produce merchandise, and
thereby reduce its cost.
"Knocking off" early and holidays have
increased the cost of almost everything
we wear and furnish with.
