TELEPHONE SERVICE

The Newark Telephone Com pany's operators have been in- structed to charge all parties, that are not subscribers. We can no more afford to give you free talks than your grocer can give you free sugar.
 We are not climbing poles for the fun of 1t.
 It will cost you no more to have a telephone in your home than it costs your neighbor.
