....if ya wanna beat those bagpipes out of town! If the clock can be believed, this photo was taken at 8:17 AM. Barre Scottish Bagpipe Band, Monpelier, VT, 1913 or 1914. Azo RPPC, stamp box design used 1910-1930
One fact I've gleaned from looking at a gazillion storefront photos: Those jewelry store clock-signs all show 8:17. Which gives you space above and below for writing.
