The clock on the left belonged to L. W. Suter. I believe he installed it after he purchased this jewelry store from Gerhard Benninghausen in 1905. He replaced it or remodeled it when he moved up to 2nd.

On the right, behind the streetcar, is the clock of Burnett Brothers in the Sullivan Block at 720 First, on the corner of Columbia. They bought out Richards in 1906 and moved up to the Burke Building on 2nd in 1912.

(Earlier I thought that this was the clock of Albert Hansen. And while it may actually be the same clock, it’s in front of the wrong storefront here. And this is after Hansen moved a half block south.)

Advertisement showing street and pedestrian activity in front of the four-story corner storefront, with signage, for the jewelry and watch store at 112, i.e., 316 Chestnut Street. A sign illustrated with a watch and reading "No. 112 John C. Farr& Co. Wholesale and Retail" adorns the side of the building above a window with a shade advertising watches, jewelry, and silverware. At the store entrance, a clerk greets two ladies and a girl between the display windows filled with silverware, jewelry, and watches. In front of the store, a lady and gentleman converse near the horses of an out-of-view carriage, and at the corner, a gentleman, possibly, a store clerk talks with two ladies accompanied by a child and dog. Also shows a partial view, including signage and the display window, of the neighboring business, Eugene Roussel, perfumer. In addition, print contains a Gothic-style border as well as pictorial elements that flank the central image. Elements show a clock sculpture, pocket watch, and the embellished text, "Watches" and "Jewelry." Farr started his business in the mid 1820s and changed the firm name to John C. Farr & Co. in 1850. The business relocated circa 1854.
