16797Western Union International INC. Stock Certificate 1967 - Series: N3669 1967 - Series: N3669. Beautifully engraved certificate from the Western Union Telegraph Company. This historic document was printed by the American Banknote Company and has an ornate orange border around it with a vignette of two allegorical women flying on clouds. This item has the printed signatures of the Company's President and Secretary. The service that in the mid-1800s displaced pony-borne messengers has itself been supplanted over the last half-century by cheap long-distance telephone service faxes and e-mail. In the late 1870s Western Union led by William H. Vanderbilt attempted to wrest control of the major telephone patents and the new telephone industry away from the Bell Telephone Company. But due to new Bell leadership and a subsequent hostile takeover attempt of Western Union by Jay Gould Western Union discontinued its fight and Bell Telephone prevailed. Throughout the remainder of the nineteenth century the telegraph became one of the most important factors in the development of social and commercial life of America. In spite of improvements to the telegraph however -- the telephone eventually replaced the telegraph as the leaders of the communication revolution for most Americans. unknown books
