The Merchant and the Profess
siOnal men pay larger telephone bills.
but they charge back all their expenses
to you and add profit.
You Pay for the Doctors Tele-
phone with your doctors bill, and for
the grocery mans telephone with your
grocery bill
If the business man has two telephones
he charges you for both of them.
If Rock Island has Two Local
Telephone Systems the ultimate
consumer has to pay for both of them.
Maybe You have no Telephone
IN your house. You help to pay for the
complete service Of the city just the
same, whenever you pay bill.
Maybe You have a Residence
Telephone on one system only. You
must pay for the merchants or the man.
ufaCturer's telephone on the other sys-
TENS also, when you make purchase.
Two Telephone Systems Cost
the Community nearly twice as
