There are always a lot of rainy-dajr chores about the farm. Instead of spoiling a day in going to town, the farmer goes to his Bell Telephone and does his business. Time saved can be spent profitably. That is why he would not think of being with­ out the Bell Telephone Service. It is poor econ­ omy to try to get along without it. Consult our local manager.
