1927 Northern Electric Quote for Telephone Equipment

I have in the museum's collection a 1927 quote for equipment needed to build a farmer's line, both telephones and line construction needs. The envelope will be shown in JPG - the rest in a PDF file so it can be scaled to the size you want. The second page is a carbon copy - I guess that was the best way they had back then to quickly produce a document which they found themselves needing often. They didn't have the advantage of today's desktop publishing. As a result, it is a bit hard to read - not caused by the scanning, but by the quality of the original document.

I have obscured the name of the addressee. I should note that by 1928, he had his phone line - he is listed in the 1928 phone book.I have some later telephone bills for this gentleman, too.

See the PDF file for the two sheets of information in the envelope.
