phone has done. When one looks back
to the days before telephones, and
thinks of the old way of getting infor-
nation by walking from one office to

wanted to see had just stepped out, it
is easy to realize how great change
has been wrought by the telephone.
What the telephone has done for each

do for the entire group. The sooner
