TELEPHONES and the high cost of hamburgers Time was when you could buy a tasty, juicy hamburger anywhere for just 5c ~. then 10c ... then 15c. Today ... who knows? While the hamburger’s price was climbing, telephone service continued to increase in value far out of proportion to its low cost. Every new telephone increases the value of every other telephone. With new telephone installations being made at a rapid rate, the service value of your telephone is still growing. You can always depend upon your telephone—for high value at the lowest possible cost. CITIZENS TELEPHONE CO.

These taxes were in addition to the $23 million of their original total income already taken for Federal Income Taxes as indicated above.

Both receipts and earnings were somewhat below the previous quarter, but a little above the first quarter of last year. In the middle of March our prices were reduced on refrigerators, radios and freezers. New, low-priced television sets and automatic clothes washers were brought out.
