By Chamberlin Dodds. Distinguished New York Decorator 
When Yankee clipper ships 
sailed the Se-ven Seas, they 
carried Seth Thomas clocks to 
dealers in every quarter of 
the globe. Then, as now, Seth 
Thomas was supreme in clock¬ 
making and the world paid 
tribute to American skill and 
artistry 
T he supremacy of American women in 
the arc of dress is not a limited flair, but 
only one expression of their innate good taste. 
To realize this, one has only to observe the 
interiors of typical American homes. In them 
is evidenced appreciation of beauty, a keen 
sense of harmony, and an individuality as 
charming as it is personal. 
Whether madame has engaged the services 
of a professional or arranged the rooms 
herself, she never mistakes floridity for 
elegance or stiffness for correctness. 
It is only natural that those women who 
recognize true artistry and its application to 
the home love the fine timepieces created 
by Seth Thomas. 
For more than a century these painstaking 
New England artisans have fashioned exqui¬ 
site clocks. I have never seen a single model 
that was not a delight in design and finish. 
Of course their accuracy is proverbial. 
Whether a Seth Thomas is enthroned on 
a mantel, flanked by suitable ornaments—or 
placed on a wall bracket as so many now are 
doing—it bestows a touch of grace and 
dignity quite inimitable. 
There is a decided tendency, too, to em¬ 
bellish such pieces as high-boys, book-cases 
and low-boys with a harmonizing clock. 
Many types of desks lend 
themselves admirably to the 
addition of a Seth Thomas.
