Standard Bell Equipment

All the Bell instruments, all the Bell lines and all the Bell
equipment are tested, tried and standardized-the same here in
Philadelphia, San Francisco and Everywhere. This assures the
best transmission and keeps the service always up to the highest
standard.
The Bell standard telephone equipment is the best known to-
day and it is used the world over by people who demand quality.
Of the $58, 100000 that will be spent by the Bell System for
new construction and equipment during the present year, over
SZ,8OO,OOO will go for engagements and improvements of the Bell
plant in our own and adjacent cites,-aH within a radius of eighty
miles OF Philadelphia.
We can point with pride to our fine telephone plant in this
vicinity and in all the surrounding sections of the country-each
locality with standardized equipment sufficient to handle any emer-
gency and to take care of prospective growth within the next few
years, and additions and improvements are constantly being made
to maintain the high Bell standard. That we are aiming still higher
is evidenced by the unusual further investment made during 1912.
Here is evidence that the Bell Systems policy is one of con-
tinuous Improvement and expansion.
Does it not follow that the Bell must give standard service?

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be i%ncurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable, Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease. and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney e.
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitu-
tional ure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea

Besides these serges, there are
