| Wall Clocks |
| Many years ago, wall clocks were considered the most common and the most utilized clocks. The town jewelry store always had a wall clock, usually a Regulator, hanging so all who walked by the store could see the clock from the street. This was the official town timepiece that everyone used to set their pocket watches. Each morning the jeweler would set his pocket watch by the Western Union telegraph at the train depot. He would return to his store and ensure his wall clock had the correct time. Every dry goods store, feed store, food market etc. had a large wall clock for all to see when shopping. Every school had a clock in the classroom(s) and as such were and are called schoolhouse clocks. These were all a similar shape with a large face and a pendulum that was visible through glass. Very few of the old originals are still around but modern manufacturers still make schoolhouse clocks.
