At a Small Cost
A Hell Telephone in the home promotes com
companionship and a feeling of security, permitting
you at all times to communicate with neighbors ami
friends, and with members of the family who are away.
It should banish loneliness and bring a sense of comfort.
You need a telephone for shopping and
social purposes, as well as for emergency
calls in case of fire, sic kness or burglary.
It mav not cost as much as vou think.
