mail service, and here his ability to system
atize and organize was soon felt. At that
time the railway mail service was in an un-
developed stage, and Vail prepared special
studies on the question of distribution and
dispatching of the mail which brought him
quick recognition from the authorities az
Washington in the shape of an appointment
to the office of assistant superintendent. In
1876 he was appointed general superlntend-
ent although at that time he was the young
est of the officers in the railway mail service.
Two years later he was approached by Gar
diner G. Hubbard, father-in-law of Alexan-
der Graham Bell, and offered the position of
general manager of the American Bell Com
pany, which had been formed to exploit the
telephone, at that time a recent invention.
In choosing young Vail for this position,
Hubbard was keen enough to see that here
was just the man to organize and develop the
telephone business on the large scale which
it's promoters saw would be necessary when
the world had become educated to the possi-
bilites of the service. Quick to see these
possibilities himself, 1nd with faith from the
first In the future of the telephone, Vail ac-
cepted the offer and left the railway mail
service, in which he felt that he had ad-
vanced as far as he could.
ODSIdCleS his DellPnJ
AS he set to work on this new task he found
many obstacles in the way. 1t was at first
believed that the telephone was good only
for local service but Vail conceived of
greater scope for its utility, and the vision
OF long distance telephony came to him long
before 1t did to any one else His first
achievement in this direction was a long
distance telephone line which he established
between Boston and Providence. Through his
efforts improvements were made in telephone
equipment and material, so that little by
little the obstacles were overcome and long
distance telephony was extended until last
year communication was established between
San Francisco and New York
