EFORE tlie introduction of the
telephone, the -farmer was iso-
lated—cut cl from the outside
world.
Did he wish to know the market pries
cf his produce? It meant a weary jour-
ney to town. The same weary; time-
wasting trips were necessary did he wish
to speak to a distant neighbor, consult
the doctor, or to impart or receive any
information cutside his own household.
Now the farmer with a Cell telephone puts
himself in instant communication with the town.
He consults his doctor, converses with his
friends, learns the market quotations and the
. news cf the day, without leaving his house.
The rates are reasonable.
Every farmer should have
a Bell Telephone. Have
you one? If not, ask oui;
manager about it today, or
