World-Wide Dinner Table
What may be described as a dinner table all round the world was arranged the other clay when 11,000 work-people of a company sat down at the same moment in many countries to a dinner, the same dinner being served everywhere, and the same speeches made. . The banquets in Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Belgium, and in many big towns of England, were linked ‘together by land lines or wireless, and the speeches were broadcast, so that all the guests listened to them. At one dinner there were 3,500 people seated. As the dinners were all served at the same time it happened, of course, that in some countries the guests had to dine at a very unusual way.
