12 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924 The Beautiful Main Dining Room of The Orrington. A Timely Suggestion! CTOBER 1st is close at hand-- the season of moving, when leases expire and homes are sold or closed for the winter. With the advent of fall comes the eager 'search for new quarters. You have heard much of Evanston and The Orrington--of the newness elegance and home-like environment of this hap- and freshness, the pier place to live. Both Evanston and The Orrington will appeal to you--Evanston for its convenient transportation, its schools, stores, clubs, etc, and The Orrington for its attractive accommodations. Plan now to enjoy this happier mode of living. We invite you to inspect furnished or unfurnished quarters to meet your needs. Che "Station-to-Station" Calls "STATION-TO-STATION?" call is a long distance connection between any two tele- phones (including private branch exchange switchboard operator) as distinguished from a call between individuals. : HIS company must add $20,- 000,000 to its invest- ment every year to meet the demand for its service. If this money is to be obtain- ed, adequate returns to investors must be assured. Every tele- phone added to onr system increases the value of the service to every existing tele- phone. Under "station-to-station" rates a charge 1s made where a con- nection 1s established with any- one at the called telephone, but the charge 1s about 20 per cent lower than for a*"person-to-person" call. To make a "station -to -station" call, ask for "Long Distance," give the operator the number of the distant telephone (or the name of the subscriber if you do not know the number) and tell the operator you will talk to anyone who answers.
