TELEPHONE INDEX FOR RHODE
ISLAND.
Latest I'm provemepts to BE Used.

The State Of Rhode Island is soon to have
generally introduced a new and useful invcn-
ton, a most convenient time, labor and
temper saving office device. Practically, the
entire telephone service of Rhode Island will
soon be using the Telephone Index. Business
men are spending a larger part of their time
at the telephone each year. They will readily
recognize the necessity Of finding the name
Of subscriber quickly while waiting for
Central 20 answer their call.
The Telephone Index is made to fasten tn
the wall near the telephone, and both can be
operated AT the same time. II thus becomes
not only a great convenience, but great
time saver, and as time is money" IL is
money in the pocket Of every subscriber. 1t
is also a sure cure for the bad temper caused
by hunting through bulky books or old slips
of paper. Ii is attached to an iron, stone
or "A brick wall with neat metal bracket,
out of which il can be lifted il so desired
The first pages will contain all the public
pay sta ions Of Rhode Island by themselves,
and the last page will be ruled for frequent
calls" on exchanges Of other cities. A psge
is also ruled for new telephones, so there
need be no defacing the walls of the offices
by writing numbers thereon.
The Rhode Island edition will be placed in
the twelve leading cities of the State, and
the managers for Rhode Island, Mes .rsW Will
more Bros, are under contract to issue 1000
indexes for the State and the two Attleboros
in Massachusetts,
1t may be of interest to know that the 1000
telephones of Rhode island are each used
on an average over ten times n day,
or about q quarter million calls per
week 1t can readily be seen what an i'm
mense saving OF time, labor and temper
this Index accomplishes, rs well as greatly
facilitating the use of the telephone.
The Telephone Index i. patented in the
United States, Canada and Great Britain, and
represents the practical con -olidation OF the
various local indexes that have been used in
New England since 1892.
II was first known as the Bacon Tyler
Co. and the first patent was issued Oct. 4,
'92 Several improvements have nee been
added and the last patent Jan. ), 1884, will
apply TO the Rhods Island edition.
