 MT. Vail was 31 years old wheE Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, and General Superinten. dent of the Railway Mail Service Still earlier, he had been a telegraph operator. and, interested in the pos abilities of electrical communication he had visions of Bells toy would some day be great factor in Amer ican life. Bell and his associates had equal faith in MT. Vail's organ izing genius, for he had already made a name for himself as an or ganizer of the Railway Mail Ser vice, and he was readily induced to resign to become the General Man ager, in 1876, of the first Ameri- can Bell Telephone Company.
 Optimistic packers of the tele- phone then thought that the inven- tion would serve only for local com munication, but MT Vail had vis- ions of it's long-distance use. The first line from Boston to Providence but persons who ridiculed at that time lived to see Mr. Vail tele- phone from New York to San Fran cisco in 1915. In October in that year, they found that it was possi- ble to send the human voice more than half way around the world, as was done by wireless telephone from Arlington.

J., when the son was four years old and became associated with brother. stephen Vail, who had founded the Speed well Iron Works, where they built much of the machinery for the first transatlantic steamship.
