Shyvers Multiphone Seattle Times framed article

Description

MUSIC WITH PERSONALITY FOR NICKELS. Here is the story behind those "phone" gadgets that bring you melodies. A framed copy of the original 1953 Seattle times article about Shyvers Multiphones. The well written article talks about the personal touch the Shyvers Multiphone system brings to the more than 120 locations in Seattle. It explains how the system works and talks about the lovely ladies at the Multiphone Center in Downtown Seattle. "The operator must contend with everything from inebriates to lonesome servicemen". " In a single day, the girl may receive everything from flowers and candy to proposals of marriage". The article goes on to talk about the inventor Ken Shyvers and how the system combines music and conversation as its service. The system was in operation 24/7 and was used at times to communicate between locations or to make location wide announcements. In one case, calling all sailors on leave back to their ship during an emergency. Copied from the original article from the Shyvers estate in Seattle that belonged to Bob Shyvers. Framed and ready to mount next to your Multiphone or jukebox. Frame measures approximately 12 x 18.
