“Pony Express” + “Seeches” [00:30]# Two commercial for the Ameritech Telecommunications company. In the first, we see a young man on horseback storming across the prairie.

Count on us to be ready for it.”The second spot shows original footage of famous speeches or events in the histoy of the 20th century -e.g. a speech by F.D. Roosevelt, the moon landing – yet the audience is made to disappear so in the end only the speaker is there addressing the void. VO: “Imagine if some of history´s important message sent there is a message received.” Claim: “Amertech. Your link to better communication..”
