High Operating Expenses
Increase Telephone Rates
Telephone Revenue Must Cover Operating Expenses
Your business will fail unless you take in enough mon
ey to pay your expenses. s '
So will any other business.
.The necessity for enough revenue in any business to
pay operating expenses needs no explanation.
For several years the cost of providing telephone ser
vice lias been advancing with the increasing cost of mater-
ial to the telephone company and the higher living expenses
of employees.
Everyone realizes the necessity of paying more for rent,
for food, for clothing, for wages and for transportation.
The telephone industry has been affected by the same con
ditions which have produced higher prices in all of the neces
s sities of life.
If this Company Is to continue to furnish dependable tele
phone service to the public it must obtain such rates as will pro
duce a revenue sulllclent to cover the cost of providing the service

CHIROPRACTORS
It is easy to associate lumbago with the spine.
People appreciate without argument or explana
tion, that the seat of the pain is in the spine.
Like other bodily ailments which are not so
readily associated with pinched spinal nerves,
tho cause is due to nervo pressure brought about
by lack of correct alignment of the
joints of the backbone. When by
spinal adjustments this condition
is corrected, Nature restores
health. Tho lumbago disappears.
There is no method more sim
ple and certain than adjustments,
the thousands who havo quickly
found health will testify.
