A Telephone Relieves the Monotony of Household Drudgery Housework is really much easier in homes with tele phones. With a telephone, the housewife can quickly reach neighbors or stores— can chat with friends and exchange recipes or have those pleasant ‘'telephone visits” which dispel the gloomy effects of monoto nous housework. Besides, a telephone has hundreds of other uses that bring pleasure to the whole family—that save time— that make money and bring aid in emergencies. See that your household is healthy, happy and protected with a telephone. Order one in stalled—today. S. C. CONTINENTAL TELEPHONE CO.
