The Wingham Advance-Times, 1948-01-21, Page 7ed44 ao #row (wile THROUGH THE YEARS, neither time, effort nor ex. pense has been spared to give you clearer, better tele. phone service. Indeed, today'sotelephones are actually four times as clear and free from noise as those of not so many years ago. You get more service, too. We're completing unfilled orders - just as fast as we can get the necessary equip. ment. And as more telephones are added, it means more people whom you can call-more service, clearer serv- ice, and always at the lowest possible cost. Altogether, telephone users today get greater value than ever before.

There isn't much sen- timent in our ,hankin.g system. It being the end of the year and having some business to attend to, such as Paying the interest and straigtening up the mortgage and looking after a Payment on insurance I dropped in to see hint, There was somebody in his office so I waited outside his office door, Soon, a man walked out and pod- ded to me, It was Toni Farnoon, the cattle drover who had been rumored as being in a bit of trouble, Tom, an ex- politician was inclined to play the stock market abit, Everybody liked hint, but some people were saying that he was a little slow in paying for the last two shipments of stock he had sent to the market in Toronto. When I walked into the bank man- ager's office, he nodded to me and sat quietly looking at his desk for awhile, I knew he was thinking about some one thing in particular and didn't disturb him, Finally he said, "Phil, I was born on a farm. We didn't have any money and my father never seemed able to get along. One day a car drove in the lane- way. A car was a novelty to me, be- cause we didn't have one. This was a limousine with a chauffeur and while the man went in to the house to see my father, I just sat in my bare feet and dirty overalls and stared, It was certainly a wonderful car with a glass between the driver and the back seat and a little telephone between. "The man came out and got in the car. The chauffeur started the motor. The car was just driving off when the man in the back seat leaned out and said, "Son, do you like this car?" I could hardly speak. The man laughed and asked me to get in, I was afraid to at first but finally did. Then the man said, "Pick up the speaker there and tell the driver to go around the Save Money by PREPAYING WINGHAM Town of WINGHAM 1.948.

We rode around the block and no millionaire could have been as happy as I was, we drove back and he dropped me at the gate. I have never forgotten that." He paused then and looked at me. "Phil." he said, "That man who just walked out the door was the one who ...11•1•111 Innommommoimrest, fnE HELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA JENSE?' & CO. EXETER - ONT.

He didn't remember me. Six banks have turned him down on the matter of a' loan. I gave it to him. No man who could be as kind as he was to that dirty kid with the bare feet could ever be dishonest." It gave me a wonderful feeling to- ward that manager. Sort of a good omen for 1948, I thought.
