Another thing inseparable from American business is the telephone.

A telephone is a part of every well-appointed house, every partner's desk is provided with a telephone, through which he talks to his clients and transacts business with them.

In all official departments in Washington scores of telephones are provided; even the secretary of the department and the chief of the bureau give orders by telephone.

It goes without saying that this means of communication is also found in the home of almost every well-to-do family.

The invention of a telephone is a great blessing to mankind; it enables friends to talk to each other at a distance without the trouble of calling.[1] Sweethearts can exchange their sweet nothings, and even proposals of marriage have been made and accepted through the telephone.
