Andrae TelephonesAndrae TelephonesAndrae Electric was a Milwaukee-based electrical parts supplier, jobber, and eventual assembler of telephones. Andrae didn't just sell technology; they sold the idea of connectivity to rural America. In the early 1900s, they published marketing booklets that became part of Midwest agricultural history, such as Andrae Facts for Farmers About Telephones. Instead of focusing purely on technical specifications, these catalogs pitched telephones as life-saving tools for isolated rural families—framing them as a way to check crop prices, call for a doctor during a blizzard, or safely chat with distant neighbors. · Candlesticks, American · Source/via: Pete D'Acosta (website)
