"A Century of Telephone Trucks"
by Jim Marquette |
| With 274 pages, this book will
certainly bring back a lot of memories to those of you who drove some of
these trucks. There will be a lot of nostalgia as you page through
the book, which shows pictures of trucks and Bell System vehicles from the
turn of the Century through the 90's. You'll also see pictures of
splicers, linemen (and women), and even some of the many collectible toy
trucks that have been made. This book is spiral bound. |

| Here is another
book by Verizon retiree and Pioneer Jim Marquette. This book
features photographs of picture postcards advertising the early telephone.
Picture postcards were first used in 1893 to advertise the Chicago World's
fair. Then the Bell Telephone Company started using them to advertise
their services and products. These cards are from the early 1900s and some
show uses of the phone, such as calling for transportation or the fire
department. The book is dedicated to the many people who spent their
entire lives working in the telephone industry. Price:
$15, including shipping. Once again Jim is giving a small portion of
the proceeds to the Pioneers. |
