it's pretty good evidence that you've
got about as much for your money
as any telephone company anywhere
can give, isn't It?
We don't claim to be ALWAYS right
and always fair-neither are you-you
come pretty near being wrong and un-
fair when you swallowed all this pro-
moters not air about rates" and
Home Companies, didn't you? But
most oil the time you're pretty decent,
and so are we. You're inclined to give
an old acquaintance square deal. and
so are we. and so we're going to point
out TO you old acquaintances Just ex-
actly what two telephone systems
means to you.
In every city of size comparable to
Denver. where second telephone
system started, from 33 1-3 to rs per
cent. of the people have been Obliged
to take telephone service from both
companies, and they, consequently.
pay more for their service. You've
been told that we'd cut our rates If the
New Home Company got it's fran
chise. Are you going to believe that
just because they say so, or are Won
going to make use of that common
sense of yours that the New Home"
Telephone Company is trying to bluff
you out of?
What do the New Home" Company
know about our rates? Up to date
they haven't seemed to know much
about their own (75c, S2.25. s2.75.
$500, all for the same thing). We've
cut rates before, and we may again
when we can afford it, but it won't be
because any New Home" Company
from California says so.
III they II Just explain why every.
body in Los Angeles is ''llicking" about
this automatic service that they boast
of here in Denver, and keep still about
the rate question they'll come nearer
to talking real telephone business
Perhaps they think you'll swallow
their automatic talk, too.
They forget to tell you that the Bell
Telephone Company owns patents on
good automatic system, but that in
any automatic system the apparatus is
SO delicate that it's out of order nearly
all the time. Talk about vour "wait.
less, cussless' apparatus, as they de.
scribe it: people out in Los Angeles
say that's so, but it's "wait-less" cause
it won't wait on you, and it's "cnss.
less because when you cuss it cant
cuss back. cause it's out of order and
can't talk at all.
You just stick to common sense and
cut out this promotion hot air. and do
some investigating on your own hook.
Much Obliged for that five minutes
time.

for all time to Gomez,

Undertaken Gilmore came into public
notice this week through the death of
Miss Daisy Homan (white) who died
mysteriously at the County hospital,
and whose body was prepared for ship
ment to New York by him. He will al
so accompany the body to its destina-
ton, leaving today. In speaking of the
affair we clip the following paragraph
from the Denver Post: "From Coroner
Rollins mogue the body was taken to
the establishment of Q, j. Gilmore, un-
dertaker at 1920 Nineteenth street,
where it now lies upon slab. The
Misses Homan we're well supplied with
money and owned considerable property.
The surviving sister, however, sees
nothing out of the way in having the
body placed in charge of the colored un-
dertaker, and says she has more conf
dence in him than she has in white un-
dertakers.

PAVING DATA
Being GATHERED
George NJ. Bacon Delegated by I'm
prOvement League to Report on
Beautifying Second South.
WANTS DRAY TIRES WIDER
ORGANIZATION WILL DEMAND
i MORE SEWER CONNECTIONS.

George NJ. Bacon. special engineer for
the Civic improvement league. is at work
preparing a report on the cost and char
acter OF the improvements to be made
on East Second South street. He is col
lecting data showing the relative cost of
asphaltum compared with macadam
for surfacing material So far he has
shown that macadam. together with the
parking Of the center OF the street and
the curling OF IT, viii cost about 81 per
front foot. The cost of curbing and
paving the roadway with asphaltum
would be about S11. 30 per 'front.' foot. Up
on the report of Mr.. Bacon will largely
depend the future actions OF the league
and the property holders.
Initial steps toward The beautify1ng OF
Sixth East street will be taken during
nance to legalize any plans the league
may have for this work Will be intro
daoed at the next meeting OF the csun-
ell AS soon as the ordnance IS passed
the actual work will begin.
Wide Tires Favored.
The Civic Improvement league has be
gun an agitation in favor OF the ordi-
. nance establishing the width of tires on
heavy wagons. The ordinance Is now in
the hands of a committee of the coun-
ell and will probably be reported at the
next meeting. The main provision of the
ordinance IS that all tires on wagons
shall be at lease four inches wide. 1t
is probable shat a amendment to this
ordinance viii be asked so as to make
the front wheels narrower than those Of
the rear wheels. The plan is to have
all wagons made so that the tread Of the
front wheels will be just wide enough
10 allow the outside of the front wheel
tires TO run overlapping slightly the track
made by the tires of the rear wheels.
This method of building wagons would
make the wheels run in roller-like man
ner and would have tendency 10 make
the paving on which they travel suffer
less from cutting than vi h narrow tires
