'Many op- position telephone exchanges have been built for a less sum per subscriber, notably, Topeka, Kansas; Fort Smith, Arkansas ; Selma, Alabama; Wankesha, Wisconsin, and some twenty others. But these ex- changes no longer exist, having gone the way of all purely speculative enterprises, and leaving no return for the heavy invest- ment. Now the shrewd financier is not put- ting hie money into investments that prom- ise as fat plucking,' for prnmotor and lawyer as competing telephone exchanges do. He may loan the use of his name in return for a profitable consideration. t But the plant will be built, (well or poorly), from • the invest - menta made by "la"—honest and un - =spading creatures who are so • inexperi- enced as to believe th t because a certain prominent citizen ho ds quite a block of stock in a new enter rise he must have in- vested a large amount therein. And as the " Iamb" seldomha the reserve capital necessary to protect an investment of this character, he soon, has a practical illustra- tion of how easily his venture may be swal- lowed up and lost for ever. But the most difficult problem that con- fronts the new company in a large city is to BO plan the constructive and engineering features of a plant as to insure from the start a eatisfactory high-class service t� sub- scribers already educated to a high standard of telephone service. It means something more than placing a switch -board in a room and connecting thereto the wires radiating out to the subscribers' telephones.

York Post 'says : When a new telephone company attempts to secure a foothold in a large city, it finds that one of the great problems it must solve lies, not in the total number of subscribers it canesecure, bat in the number of desirable eubscribers that will prove permaneet, and -paying patrons. Por the service of a tele- phone exchange increases in value in the same ratio as the names of the desirable ele- ments in the community are added to its 'lists of subscribers. In other words, while a newspaier circulating only among saloons and read principally by the frequenters of such places might prove profitable to a cep. tain class of advertisers, the general adver-• tiser would not use its columns, as it would mot reach the public in general—the buyi classes. So a telephone exchange alight 6 - cure several hundred or a thousand or tWo eubscribers,andsyet the combinations affor - • ed have no practical value to the constapt user of telephone service or the general pub- lic, and the secured subecribers be rarely eallee for. But the progressive merchant -must pay his tribute to each company islet the same. Thus, itis not only the greatest number of people you mit reach with the aid ,of the telephone, but theipreatese number cif A TEA-GROWINd PARADISE."
