notice To Telephone Subscribers,
Notice is hereby given to the subscribers of The
Polk County Telephone Company! that a meeting of
the Directors, held August 15th. 1907, it war ordered
that telephone rents be advanced 25 cents per month
from and after Sept 1st 1907.
This advance is found to be .nessary because of
the increase m the price of labor and the cost of
materia the present rate having proven to be in
sumaent to meet the increased expense of maintain
ing and operating the system.
