The superb quality of the work done is well worth your consideration. We will open two nights a week Acceding to many requests we will remain open two nights a week, Thursdays and Saturdays, until 9:00 o'clock until further notice. Remember --this store is not a branch of any other store or company--it is Barry all through DAVID G. BARRY 514 Davis Street -- Evanston -- University 5712 to You Barry Has Something to Say NN W Why it pays to shop at Barry's in Evanston We have today the greatest assortment of floor coverings that this store has ever carried. This is particularly true of our rugs--Oriental and Domestic. We couple this assortment with prices undeniably lower than 'Loop' prices. We can do this BECAUSE Our rent is tremendously lower than "Loop" stores. We employ no expensive buyer. We are free from many of the expensive items that "Loop" rug stores must carry. We pass the saving on to you. Our merchandise is our own. It is not bought on consignment, required a high price so that all parties concerned may get a good profit-- That helps you, too. CARPETS, RUGS and LINOLEUMS [PHONE 50 YEARS OLD Telephone Employes to Wear But- | tons Commemorating Golden Jubilee of Industry Distribution of memorial buttons has | been started among employes of the Illinois Bell Telephone company and other telephone companies throughout the state of Illinois. The button is to be worn March 10 in celebration of the completion of fifty years of the tele- phone. On March 10, 1876, in Boston, the first complete sentence was heard over the telephone. The sentence was, "Mr. Watson, come here; I want you," and it was spoken by Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, and heard by his assistant, Thomas A. Watsen, in an adjoining room. From this small be- ginning the use of the telephone has grown until in 1925 the telephone was used more than 50,000,000 times daily in the Bell System alone. The tele- phones connecting the two rooms in Boston have grown to nearly 17,000,- 000 in the United States. The fiftieth-year button will be worn not only by Illinois employes, but by those all over the United States and Canada. The greatest number of tele- phone men and women in any state in the union is in Illinois. This state has more than 70,000 including the em- ployes of the independent and rural companies and those of the large manufacturing organizations in Chi- cago, the largest of which is the Western Electric company, manufac- turing telephones and apparatus for the Bell System. The telephone in- dustry as a whole employes about 400,000 persons. This year will be observed generally as the telephone jubilee and the ob- servance will be continued throughout the year in various ways. On the night of March 10, the members of the Theodore N. Vail Chapter No. 1, Tele- phone Pioneers of America, will be hosts at a large dinner and entertain- ment to be given in the refectory of the Hawthorne works of the Western: Electric company.
