This is fun! 🙂

"The Private Code & Post-Card Cypher" (Book from 1914)

This little gem of a book illustrates how inventive our ancestors were when it came to the text-messaging equivalent of the day—the ten word #telegram. The basic idea was don’t let any leftover words go to waste (you already paid for them after all!).

The bulk of the book lists the actual #code words as conceived by the authors. One thing that becomes obvious is that some of these #codes are jocular or even absurd. There is no differentiation or explanation of these. My favorite is…

Jab = "The servants have left, the house is on fire, all the children have smallpox, and I have lost a filling out of my tooth… but don’t think of hurrying home."

My neighbor produced a #Ford #ModelT Parts Catalog also from 1914. It turns out they used an extensive system of code words to indicate how and what you were ordering!
