Yettiik TELEPHONE is one item that takes a smaller
part of your budget than it used to. Its cost hasn't
gone up as much as most other things.
In another way, too, the telephone is bigger value
today than ever before. Now you can reach twice as
many people as you could ten years ago and more
telephones are being installed every day.
If you haven't service, we want you to know we're
working at it. Your place on the list is being pro-
tected and your telephone will be installed just as
soon as possible.
Friendly, helpful telephone service is one of
today's best buys
