What price good news?
So often it's the price of a
telephone call . . . and
that means just a /eir
pennies:
Worth more? Of course.
Many telephone calls are
practically priceless in
their value to you.
And yet the average cost
of each local call, including
tax, is only about 21;/-
Can you think of a better
bargain?
