Shipping to United States: $4.99
Sorry, this item has sold.

“It was just another day until the telephone rang,” is the theme of this 1956 original vintage advertisement by the Bell Telephone System. The ad features a great vintage photo of a mother on the phone with the kids watching. A way of life from the past. See the scan.

A BONUS is another ad on the opposite side of the same page for Telechron Clock Radios. This product was unique where you could wake up to stars such as Sammy Kaye, Four Lads, Mitch Miller, and many more who are shown in the ad.

The ads are 9.5x12 and in very good condition with nice detail. Please see the scans.

REMEMBER: these are NOT 2 separate items but the front and back of a SINGLE page. They are both being listed because of possible multiple interests or topics.

Vintage advertisements and articles are becoming more and more collectible for their nostalgia look and unique eye-appeal. They also are suitable for framing and are becoming scarcer as the supply of vintage paper products continues to decrease. Please note this is an original, vintage product advertisement and NOT a reproduction.
