TELEPHONE
for out-of-town business
ECENT extensive improvement in long-distance telephone
facilities in West Texas gives towns in this territory a com-
plete communicating system, entirely capable of caring for
long-distance telephone demands in these growing communities.
Long-distance telephoning saves time and money. The rates for tele-
phoning from town to town are reasonable. If* you ask to be con-
nected to a certain telephone in another town and will talk to anybody
at that telephone, the rate is much lower and the service faster than
when you call a particular person. ,
The time-saving advantages of long-distance telephoning are easily
seen. A day’s travel can be reduced to a few minutes’ telephoning;
and equal satisfaction gained. The speed of affairs in the oil fields
demands the quick communication supplied by long-distance telephone.
The Telephone Company, following the sudden oil development in
West Texas, immediately took steps to extend the telephone system to
keep pace with the growth of the territory. Although hampered by
shortage of material and other familiar difficulties, the Company has
produced a long-distance telephone system connecting all towns in the
oil district and sufficient to care for long-distance calls with speed and
satisfaction. Local facilities also are
being improved in towns in West
Texas.
WHITT CEMETERY ASSO-
CIATION NEEDS FUNDS
Whitt, Texas, Jan. 19. Editor Her-
ald. Dear Sir: I have been asked
by the finance committee of the
cemetery association to make a plea
through your paper by your kindness
to all persons interested to contri-
bute some money to buy materials
to put a fence around the city of
the dead at this place.
Our good men do not w;uit one
cent for the work, they offer to
do that free of charge.
Wp work the ground and keep
the graves clean, regardless of whose
j they at e and many people living
jin Parker county who are financially
I able to do muchvhave never been
called on personally to donate one
! penny, but whom we believe now in
j'tliis need will heed the call and
I .tally to our support. Our fence is
: practically gone, and who would
j want to think of their loved ones. |

the RATES
'TAKE advantage of the long-diatance tele-
f phone the neat time you have out-of town
business to transact. It is satisfactory and
surprisingly simple. Rates are reasonable.
For example:
If Mr. Jones of Abilene telephones
Mr. Smith of Ft. Worth, the cost is
one dollar for three minutes' conver-
sstion and the Telephone Company
will find Mr. Smith. (A slight charge
is made if the called party is not
found and no conversation is held-!
If Mr. Jones calls Mr. Smith's tele-
phone and will talk to ANYBODY at
that telephone- to Mr. Smith, if he is
there; otherwise to somebody else —
the coat would be eighty cent* -twen-
ty per cent leas than the "particular
person" call.
If this call is made between 8:30 p. m.
and midnight -and Mr. Jones would
talk to ANYBODY at Mr. Smith s
telephone—the coat would be cut to
{arty cents.
Between midnight and 4 a. m. the cost
to talk to ANYBODY at the called
telephone would be twenty-five cents.
Rates between other points are prpportionate.
Distance and time are cheaply conquered.
Our manager or long-diatance opeistor will
gladly quote rates.
