I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, “Well, a-bless my soul”

Lyrics from a while back by Tennessee Ernie Ford from a tune that was mostly about work. Of course there are a vast number of songs about work, like Working On The Chain Gang, Taking Care Of Business, Bang On The Drum All Day, John Henry, 9-5…and the list goes on and on, because, after all, work is a very big part of our lives.

First Woody Guthrie and then Bruce Springsteen said it like this:

I mined in your mines and I gathered your corn
I been workin’, mister, since the day that I was born

Ever since time began, people had to work. Early humans belonged to hunter-gatherer societies that relied on people filling in for different tasks in order to promote the survival of the larger community. Thus began the history of working for survival. Some early jobs were pretty dangerous!

Things got a little less hairy on the work front as society began to pivot to a form of currency. Barter and trade systems supported people who did specific tasks like blacksmiths, farmers, and hunters who would then trade the excesses of the fruits of their labor with other people. With the advent of currency, it soon became possible to exchange your labor for perceived value.

Today’s working world largely takes place in the relative comfort of office spaces where tools such as spears, slings, rocks and knives have been replaced by more civilized elements such as custom self-inking rubber stamps, paper clips, post-it notes, price markers, automatic number machines and so on.

We offer a range of Lion office products including binder clips, grip clips, jumbo paper-clips, a heavy duty hand-held tally counter and environmentally friendly reusable correction tape.

The variety of clips are made from durable, high quality materials. They are made to be easy to use and to last through many repeated uses. The jumbo binder clips are ideal for organizing and holding together a large stack of documents and files.

Our inventory features several choices for adding a high-quality automatic numbering stamp to your tools. Every option available offers superior quality for long-lasting performance capable of thousands of impressions.

Every impression is clean, clear and easy to read. These Lion and Xstamper automatic numbering machines feature six to 12 metal wheels/seven actions (repeat, consecutive duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate, six times and twelve times), drop ciphers, precision movements and lustrous chrome finish.

So yes we all have to work, and yes it is easier than it used to be, and there are now hundreds of products including bank deposit stamps, corporate stamps, signature stamps, office supplies and more, all available on our website at discount prices, to make the job you do at work easier, less expensive and more productive!
