The Special Mountain Number 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Telephone Talks 
The ear of the business and social world is attuned 
to the sound of the ‘‘Bell.’’ 
If you would command the world’s attention— 
RING! 
“Be Sure You're Right, Etc.” 
Ever notice what queer pranks in transposing fig- 
ures your mind will play? 
Take three numbers—1468, 1546, 6428, for example. 
Now dismiss them from your mind for a minute and 
then try to recall them. 
How easily you wonder whether it wasn’t ‘‘1648,’’ 
r ‘‘1456”’ or ‘‘6248’’! 
That’s one reason why telephone subscribers are 
asked to consult the directory before giving a number 
—hecause this peculiar psychological trait is almost 
certain to lead to ‘‘wrong number’’ ealls. 
Such calls are not merely an annoyance but an ec- 
onomic waste. They abuse the patience of the person 
thus needlessly disturbed; they consume (instead of 
save’ the time of the ealler; and they turden the Tele- 
phone Company with a double operating expense. 
Another reason why the directory should be con- 
sulted is found in the fact that telephone numbers oc- 
casionally are changed. 
If you take pains to ascertain the correct number 
desired, and then pronounce it distinctly, in 999 in- 
stances out of 1000 you will get the correct connection. 
The New England Telephone and Telegraph Com- 
pany is one link in the chain of the great ‘‘Bell Sys- 
tem,’’ and in the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Ver- 
mont and Massachusetts is connected with 425,000 tele-

Rockport Summer Resident Retires 
From Business 
The New York Tribune recently 
said: ‘‘After being engaged in the 
wool business for 50 years, Theo- — 
dore Justice, senior partner of Jus- 
tice, Bateman & Co., retired from 
active service yesterday, and will 
leave the city today for Straits- 
mouth Inn, Rockport, Mass. Later 
he will tour Europe, and he will not 
again identify himself with the busi- 
ness establishment which he made 
a success. Mr. Justice has had ex- 
perience both as a wool grower and 
manufacturer; as a grower when a 
lad on the farm, and as a manufac- 
turer as president of some large 
woolen mills. His exit from business 
marks the outgoing of one of the 
most notable figures in the Phila- 
delphia trade. He has probably done 
more than any other man in .he 
country to secure protective tariff 
legislation. He has been a director | 
of the American Protective League 
and has done much in shaping pub- 
he opinion throughout the country 
in favor of developing home indus- 
tries.’’ 
To the Review man Mr. Justice 
said: ‘‘I assert, that there is nothing 
made in factories that is not cheaper 
now than in 1897, when the present 
Payne-Aldrich law was enacted, and 
wages are one-third higher now on 
the average than then. 
‘‘It has been said that since 1897 
the rich have been getting richer 
and the poor poorer. This is not at 
all true. I admit the rich have been 
getting somewhat richer, but the 
poor under the present tariff law 
have been getting rich faster than 
the capitalist class. I challenge any 
one to name one per cent. of the 
present millionaire class who were 
not at one time poor men. This ~ 
shows that the poor have been get- 
ting rich faster than the so-called 
poor. Then, take the deposits in the 
savings banks. There is nothing 
like these accumulations of the sav- 
ings of labor notwithstanding the 
higher standard of living here. Labor 
in the United States lives better 
than anywhere else in the world and 
saves more of its wage than the en- 
tire average wage earner abroad, all 
of which shows that while under 
the present tariff law the rich have 
become somewhat richer the poor 
have grown rich faster by far than 
any other class.’
