Description: | With the headline 'I am the telephone I never go off duty. I am your wakeful servant day and night', this leaflet advertised the benefits of owning a telephone. Promotional phrases include: 'I arrange your pleasures and your merrymakings', 'I can summon a doctor in a minute or two' and, emphatically 'I COST YOU LITTLE'. The publication of popular advertising like this marked a change in the use of telephones, which were originally used for business. Made from stiff card, the leaflet opens from the bottom, enabling it to stand like an upright telephone. | 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: | 1928-1938 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
