Déjà Vu Industries presents, "How To," a series of instructional films that feature everyday skills and knowledge of the early to mid-20th century.

Instructional Film No. 2 demonstrates "How To" Send a Telegram. 
First, an overview of the Western Union Telegraph Form (circa 1938) and a few tips on choosing the class of service — the difference in the base rate of a "telegram" and a "night letter"— and we look at a sample coded telegram using a standard commercial code available at the time.
