has increased his ability a hundred per cent, multiplying
his time and minimizing his expense, in bringing tho
country's greatest markets into almost instant calling

THE growth of Bell telephone service in Omaha and in Nebraska
during the last decade, indicates that the complex social and business
life of today demands comprehensive, efficient and universal telephone communication.
In Omaha the number of Bell telephones has increased 12,000 in four years, or an average
of more than 200 new telephones a month. During the last twelve months the-installations
have averaged considerably above that number.
Every Bell telephone in Nebraska has possible connection with every other Bell telephone east of the Rockies,
the longest present possible transmission being a distance of 2,200 miles, between New York and Colorado.
Local and long distance Bell telephone service has been extended and improved until today it meets the needs of
the entire public for communication that is united, direct and universal.
One policy, broad and general, in which uniformity of method is the underlying principle,
has resulted in a comprehensive association of affiliated companies co-operating to give the
only universal telephone service in the country.

An Aid to the Farmer's Wife
The telephone is a constant household companion
on the farm. It keeps the farmer's wife closely in
touch with the social life of the community, and at
the same time serves her in buying and selling farm
produce. By means of the local and long distance
lines of the Bell System the highest market prices can
always be obtained before farm produce is sold.
