W. ROBINSON Ban of 1 National Bant KEEPING IN TOUCH With the growth of com munities and increased acti vities of our population, the personal touch of friends is apt to be lost. You meet congenial people, form pleas ant acquaintanceships, make friends that become dear to you. But the restless spirit of the age causes separations, and meetings become less frequent. You grow away from those to whom your in clination is to hold fast. However, withour modern telephone facilities, “out of sight, out of mind," should not be true. The use of the long distancetelephone keeps the fires of friendship burn ing brightly. Distance doesn't prevent a social call —a friendlychat —extending congratulations expressing words of sympathy—in fact, saying to a friend just what you would say if you called in person at his home. Let ters are apt to be more or less formal, while the tele phone preserves that inti mate touch of friendship so likely to be lost otherwise. There is not the slightest necessity for letting friend ships grow cold through neglect while you have the long distance telephone. By the way, are you getting out of your telephone all tl. ■ comfort and convenience there is in it? IKE MOUNTAIN STATES TtLfPf.tM AND TELEGRAPH LOMPANY.
