Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that tells us some of the systems that were being offered by the Bell Telephone System. The ad is split up into four sections, the top-left side has a cartoon with three dancing animals and the headline says that “Spring’s a-Ringin'”. The top-right corner shows a lady talking on an “Extension Phone”. The ad says “like the lovely new Princess put springtime calls at your elbow in bedroom, kitchen, den or basement playroom. When the ring’s for you, just reach for the nearest extension, save time and steps. For touches of beauty, choose the phones you need in flower-fresh colors that will help you decorate. The choice is wide, the cost is low”. At the lower-left corner it shows “The Bell Chime…gives a new spring lilt to your telephone service. Like daffodils set to music, melodic notes announce the calls for your phones. The Bell Chime can also be set for the regular ring or for a louder bell when the weather takes you outdoors to garden or entertain. Comes in your choice of soft gold or ivory finishes”. The fourth quadrant shows the “Home Telephone…brings new convenience to springtime living. Now you can talk room-to-room, answer the door, over the same phones you use for regular calls. You can relay outside calls, even mind the baby, and save many a step and a stair”.
