Telephone ads from the early 1960s (B&W) 

Because everyone enjoys the high-pitched shriek of a penny whistle.

Those analog "Princess" phones had so much character, as actual pieces of furniture displayed in a room rather than hidden in a pocket like today's phones. That woman with the stuffed poodle wearing the graduation mortarboard had character, too, reminding me of someone I went to high school with. Thanks for posting!

Neat to see adverts from British Columbia. Very rare for me to find content from Canada. Surprised the second advert isn't sung and just displays the "lyrics". Now if only I could find some vintage SaskTel adverts.

I thought those Princess phones were so cool. Had a separate transformer to light up the dial when you lifted the receiver.

With classic capitol stock music ,

That fashion show commercial was kind of unexpected. It's like they're only mentioning phones as an afterthought. "Oh, by the way, you can get a telephone too."

"Color phones in every hue" 1. White 2. Blue

Seems in those days we used AMERICAN spelling, color vs colour. Spotting this in many old commercials.
