Lost Their Money"

Baton Rouge, August, l. 1901.
To Our SUBscRrBERs:-Several
years ago feeling that We were not
getting first class and efficient tele-
phone service in the town OF Baton
Rouge, We organized and put in oper
alton a telephone exchange, owned
and operated by local people, under
the name OF the Merchants, & Planters
Telephone Company.
We have endeavOred to give value
received for the money, and believe
that we have succeeded. We find
however, that q telephone plant ls
both expensive and troublesome to
operate, and that it requires for the
successful operation Of the plant the
constant attention of skilled operators
and workmen.
The Cumberland Telephone & Tel
egraph Company, corporation which
employs the highest class of skilled
labor, and devotes itself entirely to
the telephone business, having estab
lished itself in our town, we feel thai
it is 20 the best interests of all for III
to dispose of our property, and quit
the business No town is large en-
Ough for two telephone companies
and in taking this step we believe thai
we are acting for the best interests ol
all parties concerned.
We have lost money in the venture
but we congratulate ourselves and tht
people of Baton Rouge upon the fact
that we now have as good telephone
service as can be obtained anywhere
We heartily recommend the service
of the Cumberland Tel. phone & Tele
graph Company to our present sub
scribers, and to all who may desir'
telephone service.
Yours truly,
MERCHANTS AND PLANTERS TELE.
PHONE COMPANY.
