An Invitation

Have you ever visited a telephone central office? Have you any
idea what goes on behind the scenes during those few seconds be-
tween the lifting of the receiver and the answering voice of your
friend or business acquaintance.
A trip through an automatic telephone exchange is a most in
teresting experience. Our latch string is always out and we well
come the opportunity to show our patrons how their telephone
calls are handled.
There is a mutual advantage in a visit to one of our central
Offices, It makes for a better understanding between u.s.. The
knowledge you gain of how the mechanism operates and of what it
consists, and the methods of our operation should make the tee-
phone more valuable to you, and should aid us in our efforts to
furnish you with the best telephone service of which science is cap
able.
We have worked out in this exchange, a combination of appa-
ratus, manufactured by two different companies, which is being
adopted in some of the larger cities.

At a time when Tacoma was
experiencing the worst of her win
ter weather and car traffic was
suspended on account of the
snow, the Wilkes Stock company
at the Empress theater was pre-
senting kick In" one of the
cleverst comedy dramas ever seen
in Tacoma. So much has been
said of the play by those who did
see it that those who did not have
been asking that it be repeated.
In answer to big demand, the
Wilkes company has decided to
give the play for another week,
and beginning with the bargain
matinee Sunday, "Kick In' will
be presented.
