About this book
50 years of progress as told by your telephone
Author: Bell Telephone System
Year: 1926
50 Years of Progress as Told by Your Telephone is a promotional booklet produced by the Bell Telephone System for visitors to its exhibit at the 1926 Sesquicentennial International Exposition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Written in the first person from the perspective of the telephone itself, the publication recounts the history of the invention from Alexander Graham Bell's experiments in the 1870s through the development of long-distance service, switchboards, underground cables, and nationwide communications networks. Richly illustrated throughout, the booklet offers a contemporary look at how the Bell System presented technological innovation and public service during America's 150th anniversary celebration.
