Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that talks about the low price for a long-distance phone call on the Bell Telephone System. Pictured in this ad is an evening telephone call showing both parents and their two or three year old daughter talking to one of the chosen grandparents. The little girl, who is holding the phone, is saying with anticipation, “Wait till you see how big I am!”. The ad then tells us that “Everyone, big and little, young and old, enjoys visits by Long Distance. Even the children are brimming with news and excitement when you call the folks who live out of town. Trading news, sharing your plans, telling all the events of the day, feeling so close to one another. A Long Distance call is such a satisfying way to keep in touch. And right now is a good time to call”.
