When can I get a telephone
for my farm?
We’d like to say very soon.
But actually, it will take some time before we can
provide a farm telephone for everyone who wants on<
. . . even though we are cutting down our waiting list
every day.
For there are many places where we have to install
complicated switchboards . . . some, even, where we
have to build entire new buildings. Our rate of progress
will depend on how rapidly our manufacturers cac
supply the necessary equipment and materials.
Ybur local Telephone representative will be glad to
tell you what has to be done in your locality and give
you the latest information on about how long it will
take.
’ Meanwhile, you can be certain your farm telephone
w on the way and that we arg doing everything possible
to hurry the day we bring it to you.
N©t« to fa rm o r -lln o o w n e rs : w e’ll be glad to advise
you on your telephone maintenance problems and
<heck your instruments. Just call your- local Telephone
