AT&T Telephone, 1928

"An Extension Telephone by your Bedside is Aid and Protection in Emergencies." AT&T reminded readers of this fact in this ad from the Women's Home Companion, in October 1928. The ad points out also how inexpensive adding an extension telephone was at this point in time - only a few cents a week. Many of the AT&T ads I've seen from this time period also point out other benefits of additional phones, at a time when phones were already common.

Fashion from 1926

This illustration is from the February 1926 issue of McCall's magazine. It is a great example of typical mid-twenties fashion - long, elegant lines, dropped waists, a cloche hat, and bobbed hair. The scarf is also a nice, dramatic touch. My favorite era for fashion and general aesthetics.
