Bird, dairy farmer selling milk retail in Vestal and Endicott, found the telephone a great aid when his barn caught fire from sparks from the creamer}' boiler. Telephone calls to the Vestal and Endicott fire departments brought bqth in a few minutes, and the fire was soon under control. Getting this help in * hurry would have been im- possible without a telephone, and without help the entire dairy plane undoubtedly would have been destroyed. . *> • • Wesley Greene, Grade A dairy farmer and live, stock dealer at Cherry Valley, heard that a farmer at Sproilt Brook was in the market for a team. A telephone call reached the buyer just as he was about to leave hfs farm and drive to another town to look at horses. As'the result of the call, he changed his pians, came over to look at Mr. Greene's offering and bought the team. This call resulted io a $500 sale. ir • Reed Brothers, originators of Reed Brothers Da- nish Cabbage, K. D. No. 2, Cortland, sell about half their cabbage seed and plants and red clover and alfalfa seed by telephone. Enough seed is sold every year to plant 6,000 acres, E. N. Reed tells of a recent example of the use of the tele- phone on this farm. \A farmer at Ronks, Pa., telephoned us to have various seeds ready as he would drive up and get them later in the day. That sale came to $50, and the seeds were ready when the farmer arrived. Without the\ telephone the sale of young cabbage plants within a radius of 100 miles would be seriously handicapped.\ A telephone will do the same double duty for you as it does for these neighbors of yours. For such a little it will keep you in touch with markets and help you get more out of your farm business. In addition, it will serve as a protection to you, your fam- ily and property* in time of trouble. Why not come to the Telephone Busi- ness Office some day soon and talk it over with us? NEW YORK TELEP HO N E COMPANY NOTICE I wish to announce that I am now able to carry on my plumbing and tinsmith work in my shop, following five weeks of illness and would appreciate hearing from old friends and new patrons.

I There are also some slanderous remarks being passed amongst a certain clique regarding my busi- ness which I wish would stop. No names need be mentioned but it might prove of mutual advantage to avoid gossip. JOHN HEBEfcT TINSMITH AND PLUMBER LOCAL INTEREST —Mr. and Mrs. C. E.
