It pays for itself while it works for you THE ACME SVE Is a financial asset. Schools and churches throughout the country are informing us daily that their Acme SVE's have been installed and paid for without appropriations by the institutions. Consider first the service that an Acme SVE will render in your church or school — as evidenced by the quotations printed below. Then write to us and say, "How can I install an Acme SVE without appropriating money for the purpose?" and you will receive facts as to how other schools and churches have secured Acme SVE projectors. Praise from a Pastor "I have used a professional machine with arc light in lecture and Chautauqua work for six years, and the Acme gives better satisfaction." School Principal Well Pleased "Personally I am well pleased with the manner in which the machine met the rather stiff requirements of a large auditorium and an 85-foot throw. We were so pleased with the manner in which one machine handled the job that we feel greatly inclined to secure another to obviate the necessary wait while changing films." Commended by a School Dean "I have nothing to say but words of praise. We have not had a single mechanical difficulty; the machine is simple to understand and operate, and the pictures produced from good films are excellent. We have an excellent direct-current arc-light stereopticon, but use the stereopticon attachment of the Acme in preference to the arc because of the steadier light, the better light quality, and the absence of hissing and sputtering noises. We are greatly pleased with the machine and would heartily recommend it to any person desiring a semiportable motion picture machine." The Acme SVE Is Known for Its Versatility — It projects motion pictures, slides, and still pictures from film, on a throw of from 10 to 100 feet. Safety — Lamp and motor enclosed separate from film; gold-glass shutter protects stopped film from excessive heat; metal magazines enclose film. Convenience— Picture focused and framed while film runs; pilot lamp illuminates interior for threading; operating buttons plainly marked; rewinds 1,000-foot reel in less than a minute. Economy — Rewind movement is independent, eliminating excessive use of projecting mechanism. From a Superintendent of Education "We have three of your machines in operation, and I am frank to say that we are thoroughly pleased. I am so thoroughly interested in this phase of public education that I shall not let up until all of our consolidated schools, eight in number, are equipped with Acme motion picture machines."
