It can make your telephone service even more valuable to you.

This will mean lower telephone bills for four-party customers who live liiore than a mile from "urban base-rate" boundaries. More Modern Service For Eight-Party Customers We're beginning an ambitious modernization program that will make four-party service availably to all rural customers within the next three yeaJST We'll be putting in miles and miles of wire and cable to make this possible. And it'll take thousands erf "man hours" to get the job done. There are more than 30,000 eight-party customers in Illinois today. But we'll move ahead as rapidly as possible. We're anxious to bring you the best service possible. We'll gradually eliminate all eight-party lines by late 1967. v Meanwhile, well keep you informed of our progress and let you know in advance the date the service is available in your area.
