Fresh frills of snow measured 2

Meanwhile, the average house
holder needs to do nothing more
than continue to use the old num

of course, he must discard out

Business people, however, have
a more immediate interest in the

They must arrange in advance
to have the proper numbers ap

Otherwise, important calls may go
