Gentlemen: Replying to inquiry made by your
representative regarding opinion of the dual
telephone SYSTEM beg to say-we deplore the nee
essty of being compelled, at great expense and in
convenience to use two telephone systems. We
believe better and more satisfactory results can
be attained by the employment Of one system only
We have no particular fault to find with either
system except for the reason above mentioned.
