To me, this is just an amusing cancellation from 1940 on a cover from Southern Rhodesia to the US. Sure it would be quicker to telephone, but they don't mention how expensive it would have been.

Navin R. Johnson: The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here!
Harry Hartounian: Boy, I wish I could get that excited about nothing.
Navin R. Johnson: Nothing? Are you kidding? Page 73 - Johnson, Navin R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.

There is something to make one feel special when you are in the PHONE BOOK
