How they Help 

 the Farmer 



If the telephone really helps the farmer he 

 is the man who ought to know the "how" 

 and "why." We have recently published a 

 book full of telephone facts for farmers, 

 which every farmer in the country ought to 

 read, whether he intends to buy a telephone 

 or not. It will be sent FREE to all those 

 interested who will take the trouble to 

 write for it. This book tells how and why 

 the telephone helps the farmer and bis fam- 

 ily, and why the modern farm equipment 

 is not complete without a telephone. The 

 telephone is a time-saver — consequently a 

 profit-maker. Simply reading this book, 

 "How the Telephone Helps the Farmer." 

 will certainly convince any farmer that he 

 is missing much he ought to enjov if he is 

 trying to do without a 

 telephone in his home. 

 It describes very inter- 

 estingly the best tele- 

 phone for the country 

 home— 



Siromberg' 



Carlson 



Telephones 



Tells just how each 

 part from the case to 

 the most important part 

 is made; illustrates the 

 various parts and shows 



by a very practical and complete descrip- 

 tion and explanation the duty and 

 requirements of each; tells why we make 

 them with such care, and exposes the se- 

 crets of the construction of cheap tele- 

 phones; shows why they can be sold cheap, 

 and why they should never be used on farm 

 lines. It shows why Stromberg-Carlson 

 telephones will outwear any other farm tele- 

 phone made and how we produce an instru- 

 ment that practically will never get out of 

 order. Cheap telephones are invariably out 

 of service just when you want them most; 

 they quickly lose their talking qualitiesand 

 are a constant source of annoyance and ex- 

 pense, simply because they are not made 

 right. The principle of operation is just the 

 same in a cheap telephone as in a good one 

 —the difference all lies in the construction, 

 the better materials used, and the greater 

 care and skill employed in the making. We 

 would like to have you read this book. 

 Simply drop us a postal card asking for 



36 G, "How the Telephone Helps the Farm- 

 er," and we will send it to you by return 

 mail. Do it today before it slips your mind.
