PRODUCE"Ct)MPANY E. Howard Street Boone, N. C. Telephone Talk by W. R. COOKE, Jit. Your Telephone Manager DANGER, PROCEED WITH CAUTION! No, we're not talking about the streets and highways. Carelessness can make your home a danger spot! Frayed electric cords and worn plugs arc a major cause of fire. And those handy aerosol cans that contain everything from hair spray to laundry soap may explode if punctured, and should never be thrown into an incinerator! If there are children in your home, cleaning fluids and insecticides should be kept under lpck and key. One final thought ... if you do have an Occident or emergency and need outside help, the quickest ifay to get it is a telephone call. And the quickest way tp make an emergency call is to keep a list of important numbers near your phone for handy reference. Doctors', firemen, police . . . they're all ready to serve you at a moment's notice. So keep those numbers handy! THIS BUSY SEASON OF THE YEAR is a good time to think seriously about the advantages of extension telephones. Party arrange ments, gift buying, appointments . . . can be handled more quickly when jpu just reach for the nearest phone. Doing things the telephone way leaves ypu more time for fun, more time to spend with family and friends. The ladies who bake all t}?ose wonderful Christmas cookies and pies and cakes will especially appreciate the convenience of a kit chen pljone.
