TELEPHONE SLAVE
OF E. H.
HARR
MM
WALL STREET WIZARD MADE
GREAT US OF THE MODERN
TIMESAVER
"His great instrument was the tele
phone," said a biographer of the late
Edward H. Harriman in the Wall
Street Journal. "He always had it
beside him. The Harriman switch
hoard was one of the best equipped and
busiest in New York. Whether in his
olRce, his library, his bedroom or his
bathroom, the telephone was always
there, and when he went into the Ore
gon wilderness the telephone would go,
too.
" 'A slave to the telephone,' wrote a
New York editor in commenting on
Harriman and his telephone. 'Non
sense,' said Harriman, when this was
called to his attention, 'the telephone is
a slave to me.' "
It is altogether likely that much of
the power and influence of the late Mr.
Harriman was due to the aid of his

Just as with the railroad king, so it
is with farmers and men in all other
walks of life. The telephone in the
home or business place of many a man
less famous than Harriman is perform
ing a work just as great in importance,
and perhaps is proving even more of a
j blessing than to the capitalist whose
; every command could be carried out.
The instrument was probably just as
important in the mind of the farmer
who wrote:
"I would as soon think of mowing
my hay with an old-fashioned scythe,
as try to conduct my farm successfully
without a telephone."
Throughout the farming world the
telephone today is a popular and useful
instrument. It was not so long ago
when its use in rural sections was un
heard of. Now it is the farmer's great
est aid in business, in home life and for
protection. He sells his crops with the
aid of the telephone, catching a fluctu-
