Description: | When folded and stood on its edge, this leaflet takes on the shape of a telephone box. Inside are printed details of 'Call-offices' needed to make calls from a telephone box. The Western Electric Company at Ludgate Circus, London, installed the Post Office's first coin-operated call box in 1906. The leaflet sets out the benefits of renting a private telephone line: 'Every other subscriber is within your immediate reach, and you are with in reach of every other subscriber'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Public services Leisure | Temporal: | 1931 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
