How to Answer and use the Telephone Properly and Efficiently........A Lesson For us All.......

Most of you know that I like all things retro/vintage/antique......

I came across this piece of information today from 1911, instructing people how to use the telephone properly...

I thought it may come in handy for people today to know how to handle themselves if ever they come across such apparatus in general life or within the workplace....

I hope this information helps you in some way within your day to day lives.....

Did you know that Bell wanted the standard greeting to be ahoy? It was Thomas Edison who suggested it be hello.
