Residence 'Phones as Low as $1.00 Per Month We can collect no money whatever for telephone service until we have 12.000 telephones in use. The franchise says so. We can never get 12,000 telephones unless we do two things: 1st. Give lower rates than the trust. 2. Give bettor service than the trust. YOU DON'T RISK A PENNY For you get let. Lower rates. 2d.
