One Man's Century by George P. Oslin Pdf
His early career was as a reporter for the Newark Ledger and later the Newark Evening News, covering major stories like prohibition, the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and trial, the Hall Mills murder, the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster, and the Reid bandits murder trial. For thirty-five years he served as public relations director for Western Union, during which time he issued nationwide news releases almost daily, writing communication history as it was being made. During his prestigious career Oslin wrote books, pamphlets, basic articles and yearbook reviews for major encyclopedias, and numerous book and magazine articles on developments in the telecommunications industry. He is perhaps best known, however, for inventing the "Singing Telegram" in 1933.
