Opera House
The Montpelier Examiner, May 8, 1914
About 38 years ago a telephone was invented. It was as crude as an ox cart and just about as clumsy. It looked more like a cheese box or a cider press than it did a telephone. But why should we tell you this when you can see and hear all about it Monday evening, May 11th at the Opera House, commencing at 8 o'clock and without any charge whatever.
Messers. Finley and Bryant of the public relations department of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company, will be in Montpelier that evening and give a free entertainment, consisting of about 100 beautifully covered stereopticon slides showing something of the telephone business from that first telephone in 1876 to the up to date instrument of 1914.
