Graduations, engagements, weddings, promotions, birthdays, anniversaries — at all such happy times your telephone helps spread the good news! You find people turning to the telephone with confidence, because year after year it has become more unfailing, more dependable. Cables have replaced open wires!

That (fin is why in war time the telephone plays sovital a part in the national r-, effort. E. M. 'HOGGARTH' Manager. 5 THURSDAY, MAY 2Z 1941 Ce s htiAT .L '., tlnile,,:.
