Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Telechron Electric Clocks. An unusual ad, this one shows a picture of an alarm clock sitting on a tabletop with a bit of wrapping paper and other decorations used for wrapping. And the headline says that “Some lucky Santas Can Give Telechron Electric Clocks This Christmas”. The rest of the text says that “Maybe, if you drop the hint, you can get one, too. For each week, we’re making an increasing number of Telechron electric clocks. There’s the trustworthy, gift worthy ‘Telalarm’ shown here, for instance. It’s an exciting present, because alarm clocks are on most every one’s wish list, and the Telalarm will give years of accurate time. It’s chime-tone alarm is as pleasant as a sleigh bell – and effective too – for it won’t stop ringing until you shut it off. And, there’s no winding, or oiling or regulating…the accurate, self-starting Telechron motor is famous for trouble-free service. Though there may not be enough of these popular electric alarms for every one, you could, even now, be lucky. Get in touch with your Telechron dealer”. The price listed for this clock was $4.95
