CHANCE FOR A CLOCK TENDER.
Federal Building Needs One for Its
Forty-Seven Time Pieces.
An official clock winder and tender can get a good job at the federal building. Yesterday afternoon Surveyor C. W. Clarke, custodian of the building, posted a notice that the government was in need of an official clock tender. There are forty-seven clocks in the building, telling the time for the 1,100 people housed there. They run all the way from "on the dot" to "on the bum" and there is a regular streak of repair bills going to Washington.
"That is what we want to get around," said the custodian, "and for that reason we are going to employ a man to take charge of the clocks. He will have to keep them going and that means he will have to wind them and keep them in repair."
