Don't Be Impatient.

1t is common practice for
patrons of a telephone system
to become impatient when their
calls are not answered at once.
And il is a practice that shonld
be curbed as early as possible.
There are many good and sufti
cient reasons why ''centrals"
answers are not forth coming
instantly, chief of which is that
the operator cannot answer a
dozen or more calls and make
the connections at one all the
same time.
There are other reasons, best
explained by visiting the cen.
trail Office during the busy
hours. We will guarantee that
if every impatient subscriber to
telephone service will take the
trouble to inspect the central
operators duties be will forget
his own trouble and be more
generous in his demeanoI when
he calls for his connection in
the future.
Don't forget that the time
land it hasn't been so long ago.

HONESTY"

John, the great and only
John Wanamaker. is a "beaut,"
If not a brute. In explaining
'honesty" to a lot of young
men in Chicago, he said:
LAS to just what the term
honesty in business expresses,
that would be hard to say,
though it clearly does not in
volve some branches included
in the sentimentalist,s idea of
honesty. 1t would take a long
time to define the exact mean
ing and then the value OF it's
application would be dubtful."
1t reminds u.s. of Congressman
Buck Killgore, of Texas, who
said:
"Benuy runs the White House,
Levi runs the bar.
Wanny runs the Sunday school,
And d-n it, here We are"
