Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the Bell Telephone System. This ad has a photo of the “Harbor at Rockport, Mass” and, in this photo, it is of a man who is sitting on the rocks that comprise the beach and he is working on a drawing as his wife and daughter stand behind him and another man is standing further ashore taking a picture of the three of them. The ad headline says that “Wherever you go – go first by telephone”. It then says that “It’s good to know before you go that you’ll have a place to stay when you arrive – and along the way. Wherever you’re going, be sure to telephone ahead. Isn’t there a call you should make? P.S. – While you’re away, remember, home and office are as near as the nearest telephone”. This ad also contains a chart that compares “person-to-person” charges to “station-to-station” charges to several different cities.
