Probably the most comprehensive long
distance telephone connection ever estab-
lished for actual business Use was made in
Boston last week. A Boston man had oc-
casion to confer with several widely scat
tered business associates. There were two
in New York. one in Buffalo, one in CHI
cago and one in Cincinnati. All were con-
nected on the same circuit, and conversa-
ton, in which all took part by turns, and
all could hear, was carried on for half an
hour. The total distance was over 1900
miles.
