                <text>Notes:

The dating for this card is a best guess.  Beginning in 1912 the cards that appear in this collection were sent with these Washington stamps.  Prior to that the cards were sent using Franklin 1 cent stamps.  Between 1912 and 1914, Emma and her husband were living at 24 Hill Ave, in Pawtucket (City Directory, 1914).  By 1916 they moved to a home at 106 Cedar Street.  (The Cedar St. house was later inherited by Rhoda and her husband.)

                <text>Notes:

“punch”…  this may be a reference to a “Detex” clock, used by organizations employing watchmen.  The clock kept a (paper) tape record of impressions made by a key which is ‘turned’ in the clock.   By examining the tape, a supervisor can verify that the watchman had been at the location of the key at a particular time. 

See this link for historical information about this surveillance system:

http://www.watchclocks.org/

This experience may have been one source of Olney’s lifelong interest in clocks.
