A GOOD STORY WILL
BEAR REPEATING

The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph
Company has invested in
property $l.l5 for every dol
lars worth Of stock issued.
It has no bonds. no interest
charges. consequently. its
rates are liz less than its in
vestment actually warrants.
Had you eyer thought Of it
in that Light
The only possible answer
to lower rates is a reduction
in operating costs. These
are now as low as careful
management will permit
without injuring the quality
Of service. To give good
service. good rates are essen
tial. Good service and good
rates go hand in hand. and
are alike just to the public
and to the corporation which
has no water in its stock
whick pays only honest.
reasonable dividends. Safe.
reasonable dividends are de-
served bya corporationwhich
has more actual property than
stock issued.
Repeating. The Mountain
