CHENEY MEDICINE co.: Annual outlay

BY RAISING RATES AND HAS BEEN
SUSTAINED BY THE SUPREME COURT.
EDWARD FORD PLATE GLASS CO.:
Outlay doubled as we'll as the annoyance.
Any town that has one up to date tele-
phone system is fortunate, especially IL the
rates are reasonable.
THE LION DRY GOODS CO.; Annual
outlay increased without marked improve
ment, Two competing systems are unde-
sirable because of increased cost. One good
system with fair rates is far preferable,
W. A, G0SLISE Il CO.. Coal Operators:
A great nuisance and unnecessary expense.
Every subscriber in Toledo would prefer
but one system.
PoWHATAN FUEL CO.: Our annual
outlay is nearly doubled, and the service
made much more inconvenient. Two sys-
tens are an unmitigated nuisance.
S. d. CARR. President National Bank OF
Commerce: Merchants generally must have
both telephone systems, and their outlay
is necessarily increased. II you nave one
good system you are much better of than
with two competing systems.

D. BERGMAN q CO., Hides, Furs d

DENNISON MANUFACTURING CON-

ALLEN WEST COMMISSION COMPANY:
We think II unfortunate for a city to have
more than one telephone system. We have

NORVELL SHAPLEIGH HARDWARE
COMPANY: Having two systems compli-
Gates matters. II does not reduce the

want OF a telephone system is the very
best possible service at a reasonable price.

ChauHeurs Of Long Ago.

There were chauffeurs long before
automobiles. History tells us that
about the year 1895 men strangely ac-
coutred, their faces covered with SCOT
and their eyes carefully disguised, en-
tered by nights farms and lonely ha
Citations and committed all sorts OF
depredations. They garroted their VIC
tins, dragged them before great fire,
where they burned the soles of their
feet and demanded information as to
the Whereabouts of their money and
jewels. Hence they were called
"chauffeurs," a name which frightened
so much our good grandmothers.
