BENSON, N. C. t'S worse than it ioohs ! You’ll agree that a telephone cord full of twists and kinks is unsightly and awkward to Bse—but did you know that it can also seriously affect service? The conductor in your tele phone cord is composed of scores of thread-like wires. They are very durable and, with normal use, will last in definitely. But knots and kinks create an unnatural and intensified friction which is apt to break some of these tiny wires. When this occurs, it causes an un pleasant, static-like noise on your telephone. Keep your telephone free from this trouble oy keeping the cord free from kinks. Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, Incorporated.
