Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
“Telephones are ubiquitous?”
“Yes, telephones are ubiquitous”
Robert Day, the well-known cartoonist who
drew this picture, was a little afraid there might
be some people who wouldn't know what we
meant by ubiquitous. "It's a pretty big word,"
he said.
"Don't worry," we told him. "We'll just
put in a little reminder that the dictionary says
ubiquitous means `existing or being everywhere
at the same time.' "
There's surely no better way to describe telephones!
They're not only in millions of homes
and offices but just about everywhere you go.
In stores and at gas stations! At airports, bus
depots and railroad stations! Out-of-doors!
Throughout the country, there are hundreds
of thousands of these public telephones for
your convenience.
So the next time something comes up when
you're away from home or the office, or there's
some news you'd like to share with someone,
just step up to one of those nearby telephones.
You can save yourself a lot of running around,
be a number of places in a few minutes, and get
things settled while they are fresh in your mind.
Working together to bring people together . . . Bell Telephone System
