Mrs. Watson is merely naming the important people she reaches by telephone -- some of them every day -- saving endless delays, needless risks and many tiresome journeys. The telephone is so much a part of the daily routine that its importance is often overlooked -- until, like Mrs. Watson, you actually start to check up on what it does for you. The rates for residence telephone service are 1 surprisingly low--only a few cents a day. You | really cannot afford to be without a telephone.
