Each Dow Jones Ticker came with a clipboard and scissors. As the paper tape rolled out, clients would cut it off in two-foot lengths and clip it on the board for all to reference.
While Dow-Jones produced their own ticker machines, the scissors were provided by The Clauss Shear Company of Fremont, Ohio. Clauss was the "Cadillac of Cutlery", and a pair of their Model 3769 office shears cost the equivalent of $30 in today's money.

The Clauss #3769 measured 9-1/4" x 2-5/8" overall, with a thin half inch blade, and cut all the way to the tip.

The scissors were attached to the ticker with a safety chain which was 100 links long. These "100 links" totaled about 3'-9" to 3'-10" in length.
