Mr. Trnex Tells Inte-restingr Sry of Its Advertising Value. "Years ago there was a man in the real estate business in Upper Mont- cTair, New Jersey, by the name of G. r,i. Dewitt. He is there now if anyone i ishes corroboration of this story, ' said Manager A. S. Truex of the lacal telephone company. . " - "For years Mr. Dewitt did not install a telephone for the reason that he was out of his office much of the time. ''Finally a telephone was installed and Mr. Dewitt's name was duly listed in the telephone directory. " Not long afterwards a long distance call came for Mr. Dewitt from New York Cit; The party calling,; (a total stranger), said he wanted to cchne out to Upper Montclair and look at S'Ome real es tate, and asked Mr. Dewitt to meet him 'The New York party came out, kiwi ph his wifft with him! Mr. Hewitt i 1 t around the town and sold them a beau tiful. home. During the negotiations Mr. Dewitt asked his new found friend how he had come to call on him or by whom he had been recommended. The buyer replied, 'No one, I wanted to come out this way and not knowing anyone I took up a telephone direc- tcry, looked under heading, Montclair, N. J., and looked for someone m tne real estate business. I found your name and called you.' "Mr. Dewitt in telling this instance to a representative of the Telephone Company a short time afterwards said, I made enough commission from that rale to more than pay for my telephone fer the next ten years.' "Stop and think for a moment; this man was not paying telephone rental fcr advertising. He was paying for the uge of the telephone and he was recer inf full value for his money; tne ad vertising, the sale ,the commission which would pay for the telenhone for. the next ten years .was clear gain, something he was getting over and above the service for which he was paying. ? - - - - Dp you think this man would bo without a telephone now?", . . t BUYS STATES iBU!LDINC, j B.
