Answer
Did you ever hoar your
telephone boll ring and ring
again, when you were busy
and did not answer?
If you did the operator
probably finally reported to
the party calling you, "They
do not answer." (Note she
never says, "They are not
there.") Then she discon
nected your line.
Perhaps live secondslater,
just six seconds too lat,you
answered. ,You got no reply.
You, no doubt, exclaimed,
"My bell rang."
Yes, your bell did ring,
but you did not answer
promptly. Your delay
caused either the loss of a
customer or Inconvenience
to a friend.
Our constant endeavor is
to give the quickest and best
telephone service that hu
man integrity can devise.
Your attitude in calling or
receiving calls will hinder or

DO YOU WANT MORE NEIGHBORS ?
It has been some time since I asked you to send me the names and
addresses of your Kastern friends that I might send them literature de
scribing the chances to get cheap farm lands in your locality that will
soon very materially increase in value.
All reports now indicate that the mountains are full of snow insur
ing plenty of water for the irrigated lands, and the great level plains
that are known as Mondell lands are also well covered with snow, insur
ing a good condition of the ground in the early spring, and it would
seem that (this year will be an opportune time to attract new settlers to
your locality.
it will only cost you a few moments thought and a postage stamp
to send me the names and addresses of a dozen or more of your Kastern
friends, and it may be worth many times that to you to have more
neighbors.
