of duct feet of conduit required. Nearly TWEEN
ty-fve miles are already laid.

most modern and perfect telephone plant ever
built in this country. The conduit will last hun
dred years and the cables will be practically inn
perishable. You imagine the perfect service
telephone subscribers will receive.
o. The Detroit Telephone Company has enthusiastic
public and popular support. Think of a metallic
circuit telephone in your house for % dollars year
or in your office for 40 dollars year No wonder
the telephone subscribers increasing at the rate
OF nearly 100 week. Do you know any reason
why there will not be 10000 Detroit Telephone sub
scrbers within three years2
D. The Detroit Telephone Companys stock is all full
