Some "trade" promotion items displayed in my home:
Pic 1 - Wall clock 1930s - "It's time to fit MICHELIN" in a polished wooden case.
Pic 2 - Wall clock 1950s - "Use Twinlock loose-leaf books and catch an earlier train home" - from Percy Jones (Twinlock) Ltd. Beckenham, Kent.
When accounting was manual Twinlock was a major brand for books, ledgers, analysis paper and wage-slip systems.
- and below the clock - A showcard perpetual calendar from a tailor's shop, 1920s: "White Rose Suitings and A1 serges make ideal suits"
Pic 3 - Printed postcard image I found on the Internet]
Both clocks have had the original movements replaced with battery units.
