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.

he just won't be there to hold down the
job as manager. 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

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

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

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.
