76. USE INTERNATIONAL TIME RECORDERS
By F. W. Nichol
Tune: Its a Long Way to Tipperary
Its a wrong way to use a long way,
Theres but one way we know,
Oh, you bosses, check your losses,
If your business is to grow.
Good-bye to antique systems,
Time clocks lessen care;
Put The Internationals in your business,
They treat all men square.
Its a wrong way to pull a brass check,
Its a long way, you know;
Write the name down in some old pass book
It is also very slow.
International Time Recorder
Is the best way that we know.
And we never fail to sell live wires.
Wherever we go.

Tune: There Are Smiles That Make Us Happy
There are clocks with chimes and music
Clocks where cuckoo shows its head;
Also clocks that wake you in the morning,
When you much prefer to stay in bed;
But the clocks which solve the payroll problems
Give employers all the time they buy,
Are the International fine products
Which were all here to advertise.
Card and Dial and Job-Recorders,
Autograph and Time-Stamps, too;
They are just a few of our devices,
3405SB1

Making tasks much easier to do.
In red ink they show all tardy records,
Printing all the early ones in blue;
Thus eliminating labor disputes
And increasing production, too.

Of the greatest company upon the earth.

And we havent yet begun,
For well always lead in things of business worth.

We sell goods in many countries;
We have spanned the Seven Seas!
If they use machines in Mars,
We will sell them some of ours,
Just to prove our sales po-ten-tial-i-ties!

I.B.M. will carry on forevermore.
And we all will do our bit,
Just to add success to it;
