Some good words about our Booklet 

 on Farm Telephones.

Sweet Valley, Pa., Aug. 15, 1905. 

 Stromberg--Carlson Tel. Mfg-. Co., 



Gentlemen:— \ our booklet reached 

 me safely. You have many valuable 

 and timely sugg-estions, and I only hope 

 that it may find its way into every locality 

 that does not have the advantage of tele- 

 phone service. There is no one thing 



AT THIS TIME DOING ZNIORE TO BRING THE 

 FARMER ON AN EQUAL FOOTING IN BUSI- 

 NESS. EDUCATION AND CULTURE, WITH 

 HIS URBAN BROTHER, THAN THE TELE- 

 PHONE. 



As we have two well constructed, 

 thoroughly equipped, successfully operated 

 telephone lines in this locality, one known 

 as the Lake and Lehman Telephone Co. 

 and the other The Farmers Telephone and 

 Supply Co., I can do no more than to wish 

 you success. Sincerely yours, h ■ 



A. E. Lewis. ~ " 



What Mr. Lewis says about the value 

 of the telephone in the Farm Home is 

 seconded by all farmers after they have 

 once enjoyed the privilege of telephone 

 service. 



We have several booklets which will 

 tell you how to get a telephone line 

 started in your community and how to 

 buy telephones and construction 

 materials to the best advantage. Ask 

 for our booklet 36 §, "How the Tele- 

 phone Helps the Farmer." We will 

 send 5'ou a copy by return mail.
