A little soiling at the creases staining at the bottom edge of the front wrap; very good. One copy located in OCLC at Yale. A relic of the early telephony/telegraphy wars. By the turn of the 20th century Bell American Telephone & Telegraph was ascendant in the telephone sphere and "The Telegraph Combination" Western Union combined with the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Companies dominated the realm of telegraphy. Enter the small scrappy independent telephone companies trying to eke out a corner of the market for themselves. One of these was Telepost a company possessing superior technology allowing for far faster and far cheaper telegraphic transmissions. Based on the inventions of American electrical engineer Patrick B. Delany their automatic telegraph system was capable of transmitting and recording 3000 words a minute over a single wire. The company made a brave stand with an impressive marketing campaign in the pages of Popular Mechanics the Journal of Telephony and other journals both high-brow and low. This little pamphlet bravely sallies forth offering short biographies of its accomplished and highly respectable trustees providing glowing testimonials to the speed and economy of their services anointing Telepost "The People's Telegraph" and declaring "The Combination cannot get the Telepost Company." Alas despite its bravado Telepost could not beat the big boys and by the late 'teens Western Union had gobbled it up whole. Telepost Company unknown books
