Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
How Phantom fingers broke a bottle-neck
Western Union Keyboard Senders and Automatic Receivers now speed an average of more than 26,000 telegrams per hour!
WORLD-WIDE SYMBOL of progress
in its day, the telegraph
key more recently threatened to
become a bottle-neck under pressure
of modem communications
demands.
War added a deluge to the flood
of daily telegrams. But even before
that crisis was upon us, the
situation was well in hand.
One answer was the keyboard
sender and automatic receiver, an
almost uncanny improvement over
the clicking key of yesteryear.
The old key ticked out your
telegram letter by letter, in dots
and dashes. It took one operator
to send, another to receive. And
they had to have long training in
the Morse Code.
But today-your message is
typed out, just as a secretary types
a letter. Simultaneously, at the
other end, the phantom fingers of
an automatic receiver re-type the
message for delivery.
Flesh-and-blood operators send
-and ghost operators receive*-
some 283,000,000 Western Union
telegrams a year!
For nearly loo years, Western
Union has been pioneering in
communications. Many new advances
in automatic telegraphy
are now in commercial use, and
other forthcoming developments,
including electronic devices, soon
will be available . . . as Western
Union looks ahead to a second
century of progress. Western

•Every automatic receiver has a flesh and-
blood attendant who checks constantly
on operation, removes the
printed tape from the machine and
sticks it on the delivery form.

A great Vintage Ad!
You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!
We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).
Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product. Back side of Vintage Ad is glued to backing paper so that it continues to display flat over time. Here is what you will receive:
- New frame
