| The Telephone Herald |
| The 20th Century "Newspaper" |
| Readers of Bellamy's "Looking Backward" will remember one of his boldest conceptions--a speaking, singing, lecturing, educating and concert-giving "newspaper." |
For a long time this "fantasy" has been in active, practical operation in Europe--it is a proved success--in fact an absolute necessity in this busy age of time and labor-saving inventions. And it is soon to be available to subscribers in and around Los Angeles. |
What The Telephone Herald Is |
| The Telephone Herald is, briefly, a little instrument which may be installed in any part of your home--by your telephone, at the bedside, in the library or den, in the nursery. |
Or it may to put in business offices, doctor's waiting rooms, in barber shops, cafes, restaurants, railroad stations--wherever people resort, in fact, and sit waiting for any purpose whatever. |
What The Telephone Herald Does |
| | It brings to your ears, daily--hourly--for a very little cost: |
| | Excerpts from the Local and Foreign Press, |
| | Telegrams from Foreign Countries, |
| | Quotations from the Stock and Bond Markets, both Eastern and Local, |
| | Weather Forecasts, |
| | Performances from Operas, Theaters, Church Services, |
| | The Correct Astronomical Time, |
| | Local Daily Advertisements of Interest, |
| and hundreds of timely topics. You may listen to all of them--or only to those that particularly interest YOU. |
Special lectures or concerts for children are given at intervals--in brief, the Telephone Herald is a live, down-to-date newsgatherer and disseminator. |
