Day or Night O’NEILL, NEBRASKA Insure your dwellings and contents against fire,! lightning, tornado, wind-j storm, cyclone and hail damage for 5 years at $15.00 per $1,000.00, with L. G. GILLESPIE O’Neill, Nebraska “What’s that for, Mister?” LIKE the small boy, you may have jt wondered what the “transposi tion brackets” are for, which you have noticed on telephone poles along the public highway. Thev are an invention to help pre vent “noise” on telephone lines. By changing the relative position of telephone wires at proper intervals, " “noise” caused by electrical disturb- ^ ance from nearby light and power ^ lines or other telephone wires, can be largely overcome. The transposition bracket was devised to change the position of telephone wires accurately at regular intervals. It has required years of study and experiment to in vent and perfect such equipment as will enable us to provide reliable telephone service at the lowest possible cost to the public.
