WILL IMPROVE
F. & M. Telephone Co. Have Order
ed Cable and Will BEGIN Work
Soon. A Home Institution.

Monroe City should be proud of
its Home Telephone Institution and
the citizens should all show their
loyalty to home institutions by pat
ronizing it in preference to any in
stitution owned by people of other
cities. That is the way to build up
our town. There is no reason why
every citizen of Monroe City and
vicinity who has a phone should
not patronize the Home System.
None give better service, none have
as many subscribers. without the
Home System you would even now
be paying toll every time you talk
ed out of town. From the first it
has been a prosperous, growing in
Stitution and has many times found
it necessary to enlarge its plant.
Again it has reached its capacity
and many Care you one of them)
are asking for phones. Therefore,
it is necessary to put in more than
a mile of cable. 1t has been order
ed and work will soon begin putting
it in. Then there will be room foI|
you. If you believe in standing BY
your home town and Home enter1
priseS here is an opportunity I'd
show your loyalty by putting in d
F. & M. Phone.
All the money made by this
Company is kept here and will helI
you. This it will not do when sent
to Boston. 1t is we'll known prin1
ciple that home people standing to-
gether make more prosperity fOI
the community than where a great
many patronize institutions owned
in other cities. Then let us one and
all do our part toward making
Monroe City more prosperous by
patronizing home institutions. Pat1
ronize the home merchant, thd
home MILL the home cigar compa1
ny, the home farmer, the homd|
telephone company. That is thd
way. Let US one and all examine
ourselves and if we find we are not
let us turn over a new leaf and do /
so.
