Come see the amazing telephone developed by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Unlike the telegraph, you can actually hear your friends and family and they can hear you talk from great distances as if they are actually right there with you. Just recently we have established a telephone line all the way from here in Chicago to New York! You can now talk with relatives in New York without having to leave Chicago. People are now getting married over the phone! As read in this article: http://hn.bigchalk.com/hnweb/hn/do/document?set=searchera&start=1&rendition=x-article-image&inmylist=false&urn=urn%3Aproquest%3AUS%3BPQDOC%3BHNP%3BPQD%3BHNP%3BPROD%3Bx-article-image%3B430060762&mylisturn=urn%3Aproquest%3AUS%3BPQDOC%3BHNP%3BPQD%3BHNP%3BPROD%3Bx-citation%3B430060762

Soon we hope that every American will have one of these in their homes. Many people already have them in their offices. During the fire here at the World fair, many people made calls to get help which establishes another use of the phone. Here is a graph showing the usage of phones during the world fair fire as to regular days. http://hn.bigchalk.com/hnweb/hn/do/document?set=search&start=1&rendition=x-article-image&inmylist=false&urn=urn%3Aproquest%3AUS%3BPQDOC%3BHNP%3BPQD%3BHNP%3BPROD%3Bx-article-image%3B432272262&mylisturn=urn%3Aproquest%3AUS%3BPQDOC%3BHNP%3BPQD%3BHNP%3BPROD%3Bx-citation%3B432272262

As you can see on this next graph, the industry is growing and more and more people have phones and are making phone calls

 The telephone is a very useful invention which you can hear your friends as to having to decode messages as the telegraph. Receiving messages is also much quicker than receiving messages from a telegraph. 

We are currently working on a phone of the future that will be established for everyone, here are its designs
