Before telephones, people either had to talk in person or write in order to contact other people. If you wanted a message to get to someone quickly , say to call the doctor, someone would have to go to the doctor's house or office to tell him he was needed.

In order to keep up socially, newspapers contained most personal news.

People called on each other more frequently .

In the cities, people would take strolls around the neighborhood in the evening or sit out on their porches and talk with passers-by. Mail was delivered twice a day and for 10 cents the post office would make a special delivery.
