-Harrison's new Telephone Direc-
tory for 1917, will be issued within
the next ten days, and in many ways
will reflect the growth and prosperity
of the city as we'll as the exchange
itself. Considerably over 500 phones
are in use in the city now, aside from
the country connections, and 100 Of
these represent business or profes-
sional enterprises. In many respects
Harrison's phone system is up to a
high standard, and represents all the
modern improvements; it is home
enterprise, handled by home capital,
and we have a right to be proud of it.
