Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the ease and convenience of Long Distance Calling. The ad has a colorful picture of a birthday party filled with a group of young children blowing noise makers, shoving ice cream into each others mouths and shouting with glee. The headline suggests that “When out-of-town family or friends have a birthday, telephone your greetings”. The text then says that “It’s easy and it’s fun to send your birthday wishes across the miles by telephone. You can share in the thrill and happiness of the day, almost as if you were there in person. And, for the one you call, there’s something kind of special about a personal greeting by telephone. Why not mark your calendar now so that you’ll remember the birthday calls you want to make?”. Right next to this is chart that shows several to-and-from cities for the first three minutes of calling time.
