"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.
Christine, I just published a book you might like to check. It's a novel called "Finding Cristina." The story is in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 1924. There are lots of things happening, even a very unusual duel! Give it a try. My nom de plume is Emilia Rosa. love your site!
