The true breadth end scope of tele
phone nervine provided in » onnecticut
in seldom thoroughly understood end
appreciated by the average telephone
u«er. To him it represent* only the
ixmidbility of intercommunication with

part or, at the moat, with the entire
state and cities in adjoining «tate«.
Further than that his consideration of
the pmiriMlities of the service may not
go for the simple reason that he has never
taken occasion to the ulli/e power

The more that one can gel out of a
thing the more valuable it necessarily
j must he. Therefore, before placing any
definite v aloe on a utility and weighing
the benellu which may accrue from it,
it is well to first llnd the bounds to
which its effectiveness is con lined.
In the case of telephone service In the
I’nited State* this may is? said to tie
almost limitless.
Anyone who ha* studied the ijues

state of (’onnecticut ha* ,<een e<|iilp|ied

Genuine Holeproof Sox
Mow 25 Cents a Pair
You can now buy a box of six pairs of
Holeproof Sox—formerly $2.00—for $ !.50
Those who have always paid 25
cents a pair for inferior sox can
now have the best at this price.
holeproof are the original
guaranteed sox — the first that
were sold under a 6 months
guarantee.
The makers pay the top market
p-ice for their yarn—they buycnly
the finest and softest Egyptian and
L. . Island cotton
But the trap market price is now
less than it was, so the makers are
now saving you 50 cents on six
pairs. Yet you get the same sox
as before.
Come in and see what Holeproof
are like. Judge if you want the
genuine. Decide if any other
brand is one-half so good. Learn
what you save and gain when you
wear Holeproof.
