THE RELIABLE ELECTRIC MFG.
COMPANY,
Office and Factory, Sc Foster street,

There have been two wonderful
methods of communication developed
within the past half century, one of
them, indeed, within the memory of the
present generation. Electricity was the
potent factor in both, and both have
been by means of wire. The one was
the telegraph, and the other the tele-
phone. Both have contributed towards
the nations of the earth, but the tele-
phone especially in commercial and
social life has worked a remarkable
change. When the husband is detained
by business arrangements and cannot
be home for dinner, he does not send a
boy with q message as he was formerly
compelled to do, bus sits down and
within q minute can be speaking with
his wife. He instantly recognizes her
voice, he marks each well known and
loved infection, and next to seeing her,
is the pleasure of speaking with a dis
tinctness of a few feet instead of pos
sibly miles. Many are the improve
ments that are being made in the pro-
duction of telephone appliances, 80 that
the service rendered may be as near
perfect
mechanical skill can produce. Many
companies are entering this lucrative
field Of industrial life, one of the most
recent additions being The Reliable
Electric Manufacturing Company who

plies and electrical specialties, they

phones and switchboards for a central

they not carrying a stock, and now

different telephone companies in the
west. BY manufacturing telephones ON
order the purchaser is enabled to secure
exactly what he may require having
telephones constructed to fit some par
ticular purpose. The demand for tele-
phones is almost unlimited, not only
for private lines and exchange purposes,
but in asylums, dwelling houses, flats,
