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 happy sportsman fly fishing in a mountain stream:
Father's Day Greetings
What a nice way to send a special Father's Day message. And it is ultimately perfect for your Father's Day collages and other artwork.
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:
WU744(68)
which probably refers to the Western Union form number.
At the bottom it reads:
by western union
Each sheet measures 8 inches wide by 5-3/4 inches long.
The Western Union sheet is white. The green background is for illustration only.
