Be patient, be courteous, speak distinctly

Back in the days when telephone service was in its infancy, a lot of folks were just as confused about how to use the new-fangled things as lots of us are about apps, mis-apps, and other such things these days. That’s why the Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph Company ran a series of ads in south Louisiana newspapers explaining how to use them.
The ads, begun in 1905, were, of course, also intended to lure new customers by explaining just how remarkable their service was and how a telephone could change your life for the better.

Imagination

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Imagination looks to the future. Knowledge is a result of the past. You know what you have already experienced. You imagine what you want to happen next.
Young children have very few experiences, so their minds are filled primarily with imagination. Since they have little past, children fantasize about the future. They have not yet learned many limitations, so their imagination knows no boundaries.
