FIFTY YEARS OLD Fifty years ago the first commercial teiphone switchboard in the world was installed at New Haven, Connecticut. It had e'ght lines, serving 21 subscribers- The first telephone directory was a card containing about 50 names, without numbers and not arranged alphabetically. Today, for every 100 residents of Connecticut there are 18 telephones. Complicated telephone switchboards are in every city, town and hamlet throughout the United Sates, serving millions of subscribers to whom the telephone is a basic necessity of home and business life. Transatlantic telephony has been accomplished and commercial television is in sight. This has all taken place in less than the average lifetime.
