original c. 1940's double-sided varnished walnut wood "think" plaque distributed as a complimentary gift or salesman sample by the international business machines corp., new york. the "think" motto was coined by thomas j. watson while managing the sales and advertising departments at the national cash register company, saying "thought has been the father of every advance since time began. 'i didn't think' has cost the world millions of dollars." in 1914 he brought the motto with him to the computing tabulating recording corporation, which later became ibm. the sign was manufactured by long island engraving, new york. the laminate sign remains largely intact.
