Qlie JOY of' GIVING 
OiV one rfoy in //re year all Christendom pauses in 
the pursuit of gain and dedicates itself to the idea 
that giving is better than getting. 
Since the tide of time first broke, in ripples now 
too faint to be heard, experience has proved that to 
receive one must serve and Service is the giving of 
one's self. 
F OR one hundred and eight years Seth Thomas 
Clocks, with faces wreathed in smiles and 
holly, have watched the spark of the Christmas 
spirit as it has lit candle after candle in the homes 
and hearts of America’s millions. 
Ticking the midnight hour, they watched our 
great grandmothers slip silver buckles and snuff 
boxes into our great grandfathers’ hose. Their 
muffled voices said, “Good, good” when grand¬ 
father smuggled a cashmere shawl into grand¬ 
mother’s fireside chair. 
And, as regularly as Christmas has come, in¬ 
numerable Seth Thomases have beamed at the 
smiling faces that have peered into theirs answer¬ 
ing the exclamation, “Oh! A Seth Thomas for 
me. How beautiful! How wonderful!” with the 
friendly greeting—“I’m glad to be here. Start 
my pendulum and let’s make this a regular home.” 
The business of making Seth Thomas Clocks 
has survived the years, not because they represent 
so much fine mahogany, so many wheels of brass, 
such beautifully chaste dials—but because they 
are the sum and substance of millions of moments 
of the lives of men and women who have given 
all of themselves to their tasks.

Will Your Christmas Be Like This? 
Will you invite your favorite film stars—Norma and Constance 
Talmadge, Elaine Hammerstein, Douglas Fairbanks, Charles 
Ray, Wm. S. Hart, Charlie Chaplin and scores of others—to 
your home this Christmas? Will you let the darlings, heroes 
and comedians of filmdom hold every member of your family 
spellbound for hours, with motion pictures of your own selec¬ 
tion, projected by a New Premier Pathescope? 
From thousands of reels of the world's best Dramas, Comedies, 
Animated Cartoons, Scientific, Travel, Educational and War 
pictures you can make up your own programs to thrill, enter¬ 
tain, amuse or educate every individual. 
The New Premier Pathescope is the ideal Christmas gift. It 
will start a forever-interesting, forever-new series of enjoyable 
evenings, that will bind your family group together, keep the 
young people home and afford delightful recreation for years. 
The Pathescope is so exquisitely built that its large, brilliant, 
flickerless pictures amaze expert critics. But best of all, the 
Pathescope is safe. Ordinary inflammable film is dangerous, 
and State, Municipal and Insurance restrictions prohibit its 
use without a fire-proof enclosing booth. But the Pathescope 
uses only “Safety Standard” film approved by the Under¬ 
writers’ Laboratories, Inc., for use without a booth, by any¬ 
one, anywhere, anytime. 
Make Your Own Motion Pictures 
A real record of a Christmas group—how 
precious it would be! The same group isn’t 
together every year. Before next Yuletide 
someone may marry, move away, or even be 
“taken away”. Still-pictures of posed family 
groups never seem real; never like the friends 
you know. 
But with a New Premier Motion Picture Camera, pictures of 
baby, the older children, Father and Mother, all in the midst 
of their characteristic activities, live and move with all the 
vividness of real life. What priceless treasures to hand down 
to your children? 
Come and Operate the Pathescope Yourself 
No lifeless still-picture, no description however vivid, can 
convey any adequate impression of the thrill and indescribable 
charm of seeing the Pathescope in actual operation. Come to 
any Pathescope Salon, choose your own pictures and operate 
the Pathescope yourself. Write for the address of the nearest 
agency.
