SMITH BIDS IN OUTFIT
Woodruff Man Buys Tele-
phone System in That Sec
tion-Will Enlarge it BY
Taking in New Territory.

The entire holdings of the
Northern Telephone Company OF
Minocqua were purchased last
week at sherifi's sale by Capt. c.
). Smith of Woodruff.
According to a letter TO the
News from Capt. Smith, he will
reorganize the company and per-
feet a real telephone system en-
bracing the territory in Minoc-
qua. Hazelhurst, Woodruff and
Arbor Vitae. The extensions
which the old company had to
Star Lake. Sayner, Manitowish.
Trout Lake and that surround
ing region, will be put in first
class condition. His new com
pany will be known as the Wis
consin Lake Telephone Compa-
ny, with general Offices at Wood
ruff.
With a good telephone system
IN that section of the country,
there will be the cause of much
enjoyment to patrons who have
had to use that old system in its
hit and-miss fashion for the past
years. and who have ruined their
hopes. almost. of ever getting to
that good world. If they fail in
their attempt. the blame can be
traced to the now defunct tele-
phone company. The new com
pany will relieve all this old-time
trouble.
