Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad for Bell Telephone System. This is a very cute ad that pictures a little girl sitting with her stuffed Dolly Phone doll and reading from a book, The Fairy Wand. The ad tells us that “It’s Fun to Phone” and then says that “Once upon a time, there were two people who were sad and lonely and wishing they could hear a cheery word. And then a wonderful device that could send voices over wires brought them together, like a fairy wand, and they lived happily ever after. And the idea grew and grew and now there are millions of people every day – and of every age – who find happiness and good times through the telephone’s help in bringing lives and hearts together”.
