100th Anniversary of Watchshop


January 16,1937

Good evening! It's me again. Today is the 100th anniversary of my father's watchshop. My grandfather- as i said in my last blog- was the person who started this watchshop in 1837. He passed away in 1891 at the age of 75. After gandfather died my father took over the shop.
Today has been a very good day. This morning after having breakfast with the family Corrie and I heard the bell ring downstairs. We had both rushed down the stairs. When we opened the door a beautiful bouquet of flowers covered th man's face. A few minutes later more flowers arrived at the door. By the end of the morning flowers decorated the whole entire downstairs. Beautiful bouquets and their aromas filled the room.

Later the children of Harlem poured into the watchshop. They all gathered around father. Some sitting on his lap. Father is very popular in the city. Everyone knows him and loves him.
