And the 

 Telephone 



When considering the advantages of a 

 telephone on the farm, and whether or not 

 to buy one, don't forget the wife. Of course 

 the telephone is a "time-saver" for the farm- 

 er, it removes the necessity for so many 

 trips to town, and gives him more time for 

 work, but above all don't overlook the com- 

 panionship it will afford the wife during the 

 long day when the men-folks are away. It 

 will be a protector to her and a messenger 

 if occasion compels her to call for aid or 

 assistance in a hurry. It will relieve the 

 dry monotony of many a dreary day and 

 drive lonesomeness away. The story is told 

 of a line inspector, out in Illinois, who one 

 day found a woman rocking and knitting, 

 with the receiver of her telephone tied onto 

 her head, so that she might hear all the con- 

 versation that passed over the line. That 

 poor woman was not "nibby," she was just 

 lonesome. Hundreds of farmers' wives 

 know what it means to be lonesome — to 

 yearn "for companionship. Think what a 

 relief the telephone will be to your wife, 

 what a sense of security 

 it will give her just to 

 feel that she has the en- 

 tire neighborhood right 

 at her elbow when she 

 wants them.

are best for the farm, 

 because they are al- 

 ways in order. They 

 are made right, espe- 

 cially for such service, 

 and they stay right. 

 You can buy cheaper 

 telephones, but they will cost you more in 

 the end. They will be out of fix most of the 

 time and will require constant attention to 

 keep them "working" at all. To make your 

 farm line both practical and profitable, don't 

 experiment with cheap telephones. Buy 

 only the best. We would like to help you to 

 decide which is best; to do that, let us send 

 you our new book, "How the Telephone 

 Helps the Farmer," in which we illustrate 

 and describe the process of making a farm 

 telephone from beginning to finish, taking 

 up particularly the most important or 

 essential parts and showing how we make 

 t liem and how the cheap fellows make theirs. 

 This will be an object lesson to you that 

 may save you a good many dollars and no 

 little disappointment. It tells how to 

 interest your neighbors in building a line, 

 and will furnish valuable information you 

 cannot afford to be without. It's free— write 

 for it today. A postal will do; just say, "Send 

 me 36 -N," and it will come by return mail.
