IT'S UP TO YOU, MR. VOTER
Some reasons why the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company should he jarred
loose from the Rogue River Valley a nd all the towns and cities therein ;
The Pacific Teleph '.e Company is an outside corporation and all the profits of the
luiskifss are taken out of ihe community.
The Citizens' Telephone Company is composed of home people and the profits of
the business is kept and spent at home.
If the customers of the Pacific Telephone Company have a grievance it is referred
to the Portland or San Francisco office.
If anyone has a difference with the Home Company it .can be taken up at once at
headquarters in your own town.
The Pacific Telephone Company pays notoriously low wages and gives correspond
ingly poor service.

incentive for their employes to do good work and give prompt and efficient service. ;
The Pacific Telephone, and Telegraph Company have an old worn-out, run-down
svstem in Medford. The best they can or will do is to patch it up so they may have
at least a shadow of an excuse for tak ing your money.
The Citizens' Telephone Company will build an absolutely new system from the
ground up. They will give you the lates t in telephone invention and equipment. They
will spend thousands of dollars in Med ford for labor, for supplies of all kinds, and will
make it a point to buy everything it is possible to buy of home people.
The Citizens' Telephone Company is no gamble, as the agents of the Pacific Tele
phone Company would have vou believe. The independent companies have millions of
dollars invested all over the United States, and have driven the Bell and its subsid
iary companies out of thousands of square miles of territory, and we can do the same
thing to them here in this town.
We respectfully ask you to go out tomorrow and vote Yes on the franchise. The
polls open at 9 a. m. and close at 5 p. m. Voting place in First ward, Commercial club
room i Second ward, Nash hotel ; Third v ard, city hall.
