So true.
A nice looking young lady, Those were the days of piles of papers, especially "Patents ".
For a number of years I was the "Bookeeper " for Marks and Clerk, British Patent Agents of Lincoln's Inn, London, but in their Ottawa Office; every month I had to mail all the Agent's reports and also my financial statements. In those days mail only took 2/3 days to London and vice a versa, so if necessary we could receive answers by the end of the week.
After 4pm the typists would deliver papers to my office desk for me to check each package, eg: correctly stapled together page by page, officially signed, then writing a cheque, signing it, then taking it all to the Welsh Patent Agent "Manager" to Co-sign them. Then take it all to the "Old Patent Office" which then was still in the 1940's wooden, single storey Office behind Dows Lake before it closed @ 6pm. All on my way home to Bayshore's new 12 storey apartment building overlooking green fields, a few years before the shopping centre was built.
