Item 483515 ◊ MAY 1920,  TELEPHONY - The American Telephone Journal, Chicago
Rare and interesting, "May 1920, TELEPHONY - The American Telephone Journal"   Published in Chicago, Ill by the Telephony Publishing Corp.   The issue offered here is dated May 1, 1920,  and it  is designated "Vol. 78 / No. 18.   This Edition contained 48 page and  measures 11-3/8” x 8-3/4”.
This engrossing journal is published to provide news about all aspects of the Telephone and Telegraph business.  And while this is true, the reader will also find the many of the articles of thinly veiled ads for certain new products, and probably at least 50% of the magazine is simply comprised of advertising.    This was probably not a bad thing for any readers in the Telephone business, who wanted to stay up-to-date about all the latest technology.  And for those of us reading it today, it is ever better, because it gives us an education of where the Telephone business stood in 1920.
For example there are many different examples of manual switchboard systems, but there is also an article about a new Bell Telephone Switching System, which might (and did) revolutionize the telephone industry.
Another article/ad offers a home study course for Telephone Men, which taught all the
Principle of Underlying Modern Telephony
, that ambitious men might need for a Higher Position.  No where in the article does it occur to anyone that this kind of job does not require hard labor, and that
women
are just as capable of understanding these engineering principles as men.  Yes, it was a different time.
This very unique and fascinating publication "TELEPHONY - The American Telephone Journal" is in excellent condition.   The spine is sound  The cover is in good condition with mild surface wear, edge and corner wear.   The back cover does have a 1/2 inch long tear on the side.  The interior pages are whole, sound and in good condition, with no damage or holes.  The printing within this publication is clear, crisp and easy to read.  No foxing.  (Please see all of the photos above and below for confirmation of the condition of this journal.)
A true unusual piece of the past "May 1920, TELEPHONY - The American Telephone Journal, Chicago Illinois," and a great addition to any collection of historical newsprint.  If you work in the field of telephone, this would be a historic find for you.
