NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
instrument Which Receives and De.
Iivers Messages at Long Range.

The latest time-saving addition to
business system is little instrument
which enables the head of business
or department to converse with one
or all of his subordinate officers in an
ordinary tone of voice, in any part of
his office, and without holding the ap-
paratus to his ear or mouth. Their
replies will come to him in like FASH
ion, so that the whole conversation
will be just the same as if all parties
we're talking together in one room. If
the manager wishes to communicate
with one person only, he can easily
make it impossible for anyone else to
overhear, and if he wishes to keep the
replies secret from someone in his
own office, there is receiver which
he can use in the ordinary way.
