About Telephone Business in
Prairie du Sac.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Anyone predicting ten years ago
that the telephone business would
in so short time assume the pro-
portion, and be in such general de-
mand, would have been ridiculed.
The companies that started in the
business about that time invariably
made the mistake of not building
large enough or. in other words,
capacity enough.
Prairie du Sac is fortunate in
being furnished with good telephone
service. The Bell Telephone Co.
has a pay station there, which
means connection with the most i'm
portant cities of the state. The

nearby cities and villages. They
connect with Madison, Mazomanie,
Spring Green, Black Hawk, Leland,
Loganville, Denzer. Witwen, Bara-
boo, Merrimack and Lodi, and most
anywhere in the adjoining counties.
The management, we understand,
is trying TO keep the rent at the
present figures, but as the worth oi

entirely measured by the number oi
connection the price entities the
subscribers to, and the cost oI
maintaining system increases pei
