CONVENIENCE!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The telephone was recognized
at the start as meeting a popular
demand.
No other invention was ever so
rapidly adopted none has proved
more indispensable. Each sue
ceeding year has only demon
strated the convenience. Expe-
rieuce teaches the great economy;
a saving of time and labor so
great that the statistics on the
subject are almost incredible.
Nineteen thousand conversations
per day IN Richmond alone. You
can calculate what a saving in
time this means.
