Il use Nine. c. j. Walkers
preparations exclusively be-
cause / get results from them
that | am unable to get from any
other preparation" stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Nine. c. j. Walkers
preparations is in the fact that
they we're blended by the late
Madam c. j. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-fve years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where.
Nine. c. J. Walkers Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Nine. c. j. Walkers Brown
Face Powder is not Just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro-
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh

days.

A net gain for the year Of 18,09s
telephones, accompanied by improve
ments IN speed and efficiency OF
service, was experienced in 1858 by
The Ohio Bell Telephone Company,
President Randolph Eide said Tues
day in presenting The eompany's an
nual report at meeting Of the.
board of directors in Cleveland.
Although the early months of 1888
showed d gain in the number OF
telephones, there was an actual loss
during the summer months, less teie-
phones being in service on Septem-
Der / than at the beginning Of the
year. But the upturn in the general
business curve late in the year was
accompanied by a. demand for more
telephone service, Mr.. Eide pointed
out, and the net gain Of 1908 tele-
phones amounted to 2.6 per cent IN
crease. This raised the company's 5
total to 713,52s telephones at the
end Of 1888, on 8,304 under the
peak station development of 1880.
During the last half of 1888
there occurred some recovery from
the slump in general business actiy-
ity," said Mr.. Eide.
.sThe Improvement was sufficient
partially to offset the decline exper-
fenced in the first half of the year.
Many lines of production and trade
at the end of 1898 made q favorable
contrast with levels established
twelve months earlier. The average
of business activity in 1888, how.
ever. was lower than in 1887, being
the first year since 1892 that busi.
ness volume aggregated less thar
during the previous year.
A large part of the report is de
voted to the service results of the
past year and to the obligation d
