Description: This Souvenir Telegram was transmitted from the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair by the Western Union Telegraph Company known as "The Telegraph of Tomorrow. Western Union was founded in Rochester, New York, in 1851 as The New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Company. After a series of acquisitions of competing companies by Hiram Sibley & Don Alonzo Watson the company changed its name to Western Union Telegraph Company in 1856 at the insistence of Ezra Cornell, one of the founders of Cornell University, to signify the joining of telegraph lines from coast to coast.
Also with the telegram is the original Souvenir Telegram Form which only cost 25 cents to send! On the original telegram is a picture of a dog and her name underneath "Honey Dog" which is in very good + condition without tears or rips. The telegram measures 5 3/4 inches high and 8 inches wide while the form measures 6 1/4 inches high and 8 1/4 inches wide. A wonderful little piece of history and a great addition to any Western Union or New York World's Fair Souvenir Collection.
