Your Business Power
Nothing cramps your business like
inadequate telephone facilities.
If your single Bell line is continually
"busy." customers are turned
away and likely as not you never get them
back.
An Auxiliary Line and station, providing
"double-track" service, will solve the diffi
culty. Its cost is trifling. Call the Bell Busi
ness Office.
