T O form an accurate opinion of people, it 
suffices to look into their homes. There you 
will see unmistakable evidence of taste, good or 
bad—indications of genuine cultivation, or the 
lack of it. It is not necessarily a question of cost. 
All of us have seen interiors as atrocious as they 
were expensive, while many unpretentious ar¬ 
rangements are utterly charming. 
The reason we rarely encounter an impossible 
interior is that most American women possess 
true artistic feeling. This they express uncon¬ 
sciously in everything they acquire, from their 
clothes to the furnishings of their drawing rooms. 
The perennial vogue of Seth Thomas clocks 
results from the national instinct for fine and 
well-wrought things. Recall how many of these 
clock master-pieces you have seen in rooms 
that were delightfully livable and tasteful. 
Because so many women wish to have a Seth 
Thomas in every room, the New England de¬ 
signers have developed beautiful models to har¬ 
monize with any interior treatment. 
It is really remarkable how much one of these 
clocks can add to the effect of a decorative scheme. 
As always, the mantel demands the stately 
presence of a goodly clock. But other sites for 
Seth Thomas clocks find equal favor. A wel¬ 
come innovation is a special wall-bracket for the 
timepiece. This Seth Thomas accessory serves to 
relieve the monotony of too spacious wall area. 
A clock often enhances the beauty of individ¬ 
ual pieces such as book-cases,low-boys and high¬ 
boys. Frequently a Seth Thomas gives character 
to an otherwise common-place desk. 
Seth Thomas “TAMBOUR 
No. 6”—American Walnut 
case. 9 inches high; 21 
inches wide. A softly sono¬ 
rous bell-metal gong to 
announce the hours and 
half-hours. One of the 
most graceful tambour 
types ever developed. With 
silvered dial and raised 
bronze numerals at $38. 
Clock beauty is more than case-deep. The proverbial 
accuracy ol Seth Thomas clocks is due to movements 
of supreme mechanical excellence. Such perfection 
could be attained only by faithful adherence to old 
New England craft traditions which have animated 
Seth Thomas artisans for more than a century.
