THE TELEPHONE HERALD OF PROGRESS

The Delaware aryland-Virginia PEN
insula is by right Of geographical location,
climatic conditions and land and water
transportation facilities the great garden
OF the cities Of the east.
The development OF this highly favored
section is but in its infancy. While rail-
roads, steamboats, and telegraph lines
have been important factors in putting
the peninsula in touch with the greatest
markets of the world the commercial
giant, the telephone is destined to play
and is playing, prominent part in the
progress of this land of plenty. 1t is the
talking reporter OF crop conditions and
the selling and buying agent Of the pen
insuIa from Wilmington to Cape Charles.
By this agency the fruit, berry, vege-
table and grain growers OF Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia keep in daily and
hourly touch with the markets and are
thus enabled to secure the best prices for
their products.
This puts thousands Of additional dol
lars in circulation and not alone benefits
the grower, but adds to the wealth of the
entire community and gives life blood to
the body-commercial in every hamlet
OIL the Peninsula. the business man or
farmer who fails to avail himself of the
advantages of telephone service adds an
atom to the debris which retards. the
wheels OF progress, while the one who
takes advantage of telephone service not
alone advances his own interest, but as
sists in pushing the great and fertile pen
insula on its march to agricultural and
commercial supremacy.
