BOUGHT THE BEST
Ocala Telephone Company VIII he
strictly Tp-tO-Date

The Star is glad to hear from the
Co. that the new switchboard they
have bought. the new cable and all the
new telephones. have been bought
from the Bell telephone people. This
system of telephones has been used by
the Bell people, who operate more
than 100000 telephones. from the be-
ginning of the telephone business.
The mana cement Of the local tele-
phone company believes that only the
best is good enough for Ocala and in
their new system are putting in only
tested and tried apparatus.
In order that they might get a COM
plete up-to-date plant of the Bell type,
the local company got from the Bell
people at Atlanta Mr.. f. H. Busy.
their chief engineer. and Mr.. F. 3.
Vary. their leading salesman, to come
to Ocala, take the measurements and
figure the apparatus requirements.
This plant when installed will be
an exact duplicate of the best modern
and up-to-date Bell plants of the
world. In less than six months Ocala
will have the most modern telephone
system in the state of Florida. With
their new office, new common battery
switch board. all their telephone lines
in cable and the system jam up TO the
last minute of telephone thought, the
company will justly feel proud Of the
plant In order that the new system
might be installed according 10 Bell
specifications, the company got J. r.
owens from the Bell Company to take
charge of and install all of the new
work, thus not only getting the most
modern plant to be had. but at the
same time getting a thoroughly COM
petent Bell man TO put the system in in
first class shape.
