From what can be seen in the photos in the auction, the text reads in
the manner of an advertisement of that era (1920's). That made me
suspicious that it was a booklet commissioned by Teletype for their own
benefit (rather than an independent assessment.)
In the Smithsonian Institution's archives is a copy of the booklet, and
you can read one entire sub-article available online here:

It sure looks like a 'put-up job' to me, because the booklet is filed
under "Western Union" and "Morkrum-Kleinschmidt" is listed (by the
Smithsonian) as "co-creator". I can't tell if the Smithsonian is
referring to the booklet or the collection of documents when it says
"creator"...but the contents is very hagiographic.
