Jewelers should refuse to sell alarm clocks, he continued, “In the olden days a jeweler would sell alarm clocks. He would cuss its out, go home and beat his wife, refuse to speak to his children or use language which would cause them to throw him out of the Holy i tinue to sell the clocks for no other ’reason than because he made a pro- ‘flt on them.” Fortune in Diamonds Displayed Brief addresses were given in the afternoon by Joseph H.
