Another ad from 1910, again from Theater Magazine. I would like to have been the ad man for American Telephone if I was around then. They seem to have had a different ad every month which of course meant a steady paycheck for the guy who had to come up with them. I mentioned these came from a bound volume of that year I bought that is in bad condition. I'm looking through some from later years to see what I can safely scan as the ads from the twenties are more colorful and to me more interesting, especially the car ads.
Looking at this one I wonder what a brilliant guy like Alexander would think if he saw what we have today, all the cell phones etc. Maybe in his dreams he had imagined things like that?
