Description: | This handbill issued by the Telephone Development Association sets out the benefits of the home telephone. Headed 'The Telephone the Home's Greatest Convenience', the flyer details the costs of renting a telephone and announces free installation and local calls for a penny.
Most of the first telephones were installed in offices and shops, but by the 1920s promotional material was increasingly aimed at householders. As telephones were installed in more and more homes, the practice of making calls for social and domestic purposes became firmly established. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Public services Leisure Home and Family | Temporal: | 1923-1930 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
