Today's telegrams have little of the charm or impact of those of days gone by. These are the forms used in times past to record your telegram's message before turning it over to the telegrapher to send it.
The front of the form features a country style church, some Easter lilies, daffodils and forget-me-nots along with a banner that reads:
EASTER GREETINGS
What a nice way to send a special spring holiday message to a loved one. And it is ultimately perfect for your spring and Easter collages and assemblages.
These were produced in 1968 and they do show the appropriate fading. Most are in wonderful condition. In the upper right corner is the code:
WU704(68)
which probably refers to the Western Union form number.
At the bottom, the sheet reads:
by western union
