story Of the Emblem.
THE question of a suitable emblem
was carefully considered and a number
of suggestions were made of more or
less conventional designs and wording
OF various kinds. Impressed by the
desirabiIity OF having a thoroughly
distinctive sign, which. at the same
time. might be related to the tele-
phone. it so happened that I sketched
one day upon a memorandum sheet
of paper bell. OF the design now In
use. having upon 1t the words Long
Distance Telephone and indicated
that this should be blue bell with
white letters and that 1t should be
used as sign OF long distance tele-
phone service.
THE intention and the hope in adopt
ing this emblem was that We might
associate the name of Alexander Gra-
ham Bell with what should stand for
the very best development of the teie-
phone. his wonderful invention. and
that the blue bell. in standing for the
Bell Telephone System and it's service,
might be worthy of this association
with his name 1t need scarcely be
said that the results have surpassed
the original expectations. The long
distance standards of service were soon
spread over greater areas and included
local conditions, which very soon were
so changed and improved as to almost
universally give results equal to tho
best In these circumstances only a
few years later the word local was
added to the blue bell and connected
with the previous wording Long Dis
lance The blue bell thus became an
extended herald of the service and
gradually made its appearance
throughout the entire country. Not
only here, hut in many foreign coun-
tries. the blue bell stands for the
telephone"
