A TALKING CLOCK
A new advertising medium is coming to London to take its place alongside the flashing electric signs, the’ hoardings. the cinema, the newspapers—the talking clock. Instead of striking the hours this ’ modern timepiece shouts them out, including in the timely information some appropriate “boost” for a particular product. At 8 o’clock in the morning it might add that it is time for So-and-so’s breaikfast food, and at 2 p.m. it might give a reminder that the programme starts in 15 minutes at the XYZ cinema. The talking clock (says the London correspondent of the ‘Christian Science Monitor’) is not intended for hotne use. It will be installed in restaurants and hotels.
