trustees pledged the company TO con.

SAVES YEARS. OF TIME.
Figures That Will Surprise Even the
Inveterate User Of the
Telephone.

The intimate association of tho tel
ephone with every form of daily liv-
ing is completely, Enthusiastically
American. 1t grows while you watch
it; for every day it absorbs, at the
smallest possible estimate, more than
5000 new telephone instruments, part
of them going to replace instruments
already worn out in service, but a
good proportion going to new sub
scribers, and the further annihilation
of time and space between seventy-odd
millions of people scattered over the
United States. That it saves time for
these millions goes, of course, without
saying, but in the past years the total
amount saved annually by the average
reduction of four seconds per message
affected during that period by the Bell
systems, presents one of the most
startlingly curious examples of time
economy that the world has vet Wit
messed. In single year these four
seconds saved on each telephone cali
count up to grand total Of IA. .389. se2 :

years OF time-a link in the chain of
