Business Office A Needed
Adjunct--The Local Line.
The Eagle River Telephone
company have just issued it's
new directory, comprising sixty
eight patrons
The growth of this company
has been steady since its organi.
zation in Eagle River a year ago
At the time it bought out the Old
lines there were just six phones
in ope alton and they were con
nected with two resorts, three
stores and the express Office.
Since then there has been added
sixty phones-residence and bus
iness-giving the village an ex-
cellent service which is still grow
ing.
Next spring the company in
tends putting in operation line
from here to Hacklev and more
lines will be extended to several
resorts on inland lakes. A new
switchboard is another of the
contemplated improvements.
The telephone has long passed
the stage when it was a luxury
to be enjoyed by the we'll to do
and has become a necessity not
only to public institutions and
private enterprises but to the
home as well. The telephone to-
day is servant to the people
and a very useful servant it is.
A few years ago if we found it
necessary to call physician, it
meant often a walk of ten or
twelve blocks through all con-
ditions of weather. Time in
cases of sickness and accident is
the one important element and
an hour lost in chasing up doc
tor often results seriously for the
patient. Today we can reach
the doctors residence by phone
in few seconds and if he hap
pens to be out can call another
in the same length of time. This
enables us to not only save this
valuable time but TO remain at
home as well.
It frequently happens that
when man calls up his wife
unexpectedly and informs her
that he is bringing some one
home to dinner or lunch, his
wife finds herself unprepared and
needs various little things from
the store. But how is she to get
them? The store is often at
quite a distance and she finds
that she hasn't the time to go
for them. It's a case oftelephone
or GO without BY telephoning,
she can, i'll a few minutes, call
up not only one store but sever
al, if necessary, and make ar
rangements for having the goods
delivered. In rainy or wintry
weather the telephone is the
housewives BEST friend. One
woman in speaking of her tele-
phone calls it her friend on the
WALL" and real good friend it
is.
AS a social aid the telephone
proves to be of great value.
Every dav invitations are issued
over phone for those delight
full, informal functions fast be-
coming so popular. Without a
telephone these would be quito
difficult and often impossible.
With a telephone our most dist
ant friends are always within
call and in cases of emergency
can be summoned to our aid.
This village is indeed fortunate
in having so excellent an exchange
as it has.
