I Want A Telephone In This House! - Michigan Bell Telephone Co. - Vintage Trade Card Advertisement Cotton Wharf Scene Color photograph by Proctor JonesThis trade card is from the Michigan Bell Telephone Company, recommending people get telephones in their homes for safety. Text: "I want a telephone in this house! 'Suppose I get sick! You can't yell out the window for a doctor. What if the house catches fire! How about Mother's shopping or getting into touch with Dad during the day! She can't do it without a telephone and give me the attention I expect! No sir! We NEED a telephone in this house!"
