This is th way that the Bell Te;ephone Cc explaints the addition that is be ing buit ta its office in Bawmar viiie at the corner ai Church ant Temperance streets. There ar, naw approximately 1,800 tele phones in this district. Since 1881, the Bell Telephani Ca. has rendered one of the znas valuable public services ta tht community and surrounding di& trict. On April 15th, 1937, a specia Telephone Edition ai The Statesý man was issued.

Sise President of the Bell TelephonE Co., in a letter ta the editor at thal time, stated that one ai be main reasons why Bowmanville, had he dial systemn 10 years befare oth- er centres, was the splendid co- aperation ai The Statesman in itc editonials. Although able ta supply anlya small nun'iber af the telephane5 that wene requested during thE war yeans, the company sbould g< on record as having neyer lost the goodwill afitis customnens through keeping themn iniormed ai candi- ions in their institutional ad- vertisements.
