Two-Page Western Electric AdI’ve made some additions to the Vintage Phone Advertisements area, including some very early Automatic Electric and Bell System ads. I’ve also posted more General Telephone ads from the ’50s, all featuring the artwork of Dom Lupo. But my favorite is the two-page spread shown above. This Western Electric ad covers the various choices to be considered when selecting a phone, with color, cord type, volume control and dial illumination all being offered. Why, there’s even an automatic answering set that can take messages when you’re not home!  Silly idea…
