A woman named Ruth Belleville sold his entire life time

woman named Ruth Belleville inherited from parents the business of selling time. Throughout his life, the London saleswoman time earned money that daily check their clocks with the clock of the Royal Greenwich Observatory and delivers precise time to its customers - watchmakers.

Once, in February 1924, the year the radio station "Bi-bi-si" started broadcasting the exact time of Greenwich, business saleswoman time went on the decline. The number of its subscribers has decreased from several hundred to 40-50. However, until the end of her life she had enough time buyers, and Ruth retired at 85 years old. In the last years of her life she had as representatives of a vanished profession often interviewed a variety of publications, and in 2008 the National Museum of Greenwich even published a book about her.
