Object Details

Description
This sign hung in the window of Kinko’s, a copy and printing business, on M Street in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. The store was open around the clock in 1996. The popular expression “24-7”—short for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week—has come to mean ceaseless or continuously and suggests every minute is available and usable.
