FOR THE AUTOMATIC
TELEPHONE COMPANY

The business men of Rock Island
will be benefited in three ways and
the laboring man in many ways IL the
Automatic Telephone company is Civ
en- permission to build it's plant.
First. There will be at least $780,
600 spent in wages among the work
ing men and this large sum will soon
reach the merchants and professional
men.
Second. Rock Island will save at
least $4,000 a year in lower telephone
rentals. A large portion Of the money
you pay in telephone rentals leaves
your city and goes to the telephone
trust in the east. Why not keep this
large sum at home by patronizing the
Automatic Telephone company.
Third. Rock Island will secure
from the Automatic Telephone COM
pany a far better telephone service
than it has ever known before.
Wherever Automatic Telephones are
I'm use all other telephone companies
are practically driven out of business
This has been proven beyond a doubt
u many cities throughout the coun-
Try.
Under the terms of the franchise Of
he Automatic Telephone company can
make no charge whatever for tele-
phone service until it has more than
10000 telephones in operation This
/ s a greater number of telephones than
: are now in use in the tri-cities. When
he Automatic company has 1900
telephones in operation in the tri-cities
giving better service for less money
here will be but one telephone in the
.ri-cities and that will be the Auto
matte telephone.
Nobody will use, let alone pay for
the old style telephone.-(Adyer

belonged to socially prominent
families in a city down the state.
Amos Duncan, our detective,

before, leaving the inference
that they had records in other
directions than wrestling. One

on the outcome, but during the
excitement he became separat-

a result is out a tenner.
