RECIPE OF THE WEEK Whatvaiue d you place '■r pon your telephone? What value would you put on your telephone if you were to name your own price? What value would you place on those errands your telephone runs, all over town, in good weather and bad? What is it worth to chat with friends and relatives whenever you please ... or to make a date for bridge or golf? What value would you put on that hurry-up call to the family doctor ... or on those important business calls you sometimes receive at home? What’s the price tag on a familiar voice wishing you a heart-warming “Happy Birthday.” Probably you’d find it almost impossible to estimate the full value of constant dependable telephone service. When you think how much it does for you compared to * what you pay, telephone service stands out as one of to day's real bargains.
