Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad that is for the Bell Telephone System. This ad has a photo of a very happy woman who is sitting there, dreamily looking at something that nobody else can see, and smiling, just smiling as though there were nothing else to do. The ad headline says that “I feel wonderful…because I just called the folks Long Distance. You’ll feel wonderful, too, every time you enjoy a Long Distance telephone visit with your family!”. This ad also offers a few examples of how low the Long Distance rates really are, giving examples like Cleveland to Pittsburgh, Des Moines to Chicago and others, all for the first three minutes of phone calls.
