About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Jacobson Jarvis & Co and noticed something peculiar: the lights were on, but no one seemed to be moving inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old accountant deep in concentration, tapping away furiously on his ancient typewriter. Turns out, the office was closed, but the man had brought his work home—literally. When asked why he was working so late, he replied with a smile, ‘Just catching up on some old ledgers.’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time I’ll just leave it on their virtual doorstep.’
2. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into Jacobson Jarvis & Co and asked the accountant, ‘Do you know why I always come here at exactly 9:17?’ The accountant shook his head. ‘Because,’ replied the man, ‘that’s when my calculator starts working again!’ Just then, a delivery driver approached the counter, breathless from carrying heavy boxes. 'Excuse me,' he panted, 'can you tell me what time it is?' The accountant looked up quizzically. 'Why do you ask?' The driver grinned sheepishly. 'My watch stopped at 9:17!'
3. One day, while doing some late-night calculations, an accountant at Jacobson Jarvis & Co heard a strange noise coming from the old safe in the corner. Peering closer, he wondered aloud: ‘Who could be trying to open that thing at this hour?’ As he approached, the safe suddenly clicked open with a soft *ting*. Startled, our accountant found himself face-to-face with a delivery driver who’d accidentally brought his lunch instead of documents. The two shared a laugh over a mismarked envelope before returning everything to its rightful place—all except for one extra sandwich, which became their secret midnight snack.
4. One afternoon, an intern at Jacobson Jarvis & Co frantically searched for her missing calculator. Finally, she found it wedged under a pile of old invoices and tax forms. As she picked it up, the intern heard a soft voice whispering from behind, ‘Did you miss me?’ Turned out it was just an old pencil sharpener that had been hiding there for years.
