Help Us to Give Good Service rr would doubtless surprise most telephone users til learn that the Illinois Bell Telephone Company it obliged to repair hundreds of telephones every year which are put out of order by being dropped. r Of course, the repairs are made promptly no matter' what happens, but the user is necessarily deprived of his service for at least a short time when such aft accident occurs and this might be the time when thgiL telephone would be most needed. It is therefore iK the subscriber's oyrn interest that w$ suggest that care be taken not to damage the instrument. Windows left open in summer, admitting a sudden rain storm, are also responsible for a great many cases of trouble. Occasionally a bottle of ink or a glass of water is overturned, wettihg the telephone cord, and this also causes trouble.

No. 2 of a Series on 'Metropolitan Chicago --showing why Metropolitan Chicago has entry possibility of becoming the world's foremost metropolitan center --in population as well as in trade importance--and that in a day relatively near. Tiding authorities predict fifteen million population for Metropolitan Chicago within a lifetime. CHICAGO HAS GROWN MORE IN 100 YEARS THAN. t»ARIS IN 2,000 v>». ili- + £ F you were to study the growth of every great city, you would find it had followed three distinct stages of evolution. First there is born the city. Then follow a host of smaller outlying communities. Finally, with the continued growth of the city and outlying communities, the lines of separation disappear. That has happened in 'Metropolitan Chicago. It is happening today. And it will continue to happen for generations to come, as you can plainly see by referring to the map of Metropolitan Chicago. As recently as twenty years ago, Evanston and Oak Park wer^ still "-country sub* urbs". Today one cannot tell where Chicago leaves off and these commim i ties Edgewai<er, Rogers Park, W'ilmette, Austin, Cicero, Berwyn, Beverly Hills, Morgan Park* Blue Island, South Chicago are but a few of the many communities, isolated a relatively short time back, which have become fused into this expanding area of solid population. All metropolitan centers grow this way. But no other modern metropolitan center has ever grown so large within so short a civic lifetime. Chicago is still an infant metropolis of less than 100 years! London and Paris are more than 2,000 years old, Berlin nearly 700 and New Yoik more than 300. Chicago already has passed Paris % % This map shows the great arms of outlying populatipn radiating from Chicago along the main arteries of transportation. Chicago is a young city, with abundant room to grow. te population. And the gap between Chicago and the three other cities named is cons t a n t l y growing . / . « " What is the reason? There ate many reasons. Chicago's central location -- in the "World's most prosperous nation--and jj? the heart of Americas richest agricultural region--is one reason. Its unequalled transportation and communication facilities form other reasons. 1 And its abundant nearby resources of coal, iron and other minerals have proved an irresistible incentive to industry. Chicago has reason to grow. And it has room to grow. Professor J. Paul Goode of the University of Chicago speaks with authority when he says, wSo far as anyone at present can see, Chicago may well become the greatest city the world has ever known/1 Thts series on Metropolitan Chicago, when unU fee bound in booklet form.
