Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 February 1914 — ATTEND THE TELEPHONE MEETING THIS EVENING [ARTICLE]

ATTEND THE TELEPHONE MEETING THIS EVENING

It is a Matter of First Importance That There Be a Large Number Present All who want to secure good telephone service for Rensselaer and surrounding country at a minimum rate and who are opposed to the raise of the rates as asked fdr by the Jasper County Telephone Co. are asked to be present at the meeting to be held this evening at 7 o’clock at the east court room. The contention of those who have given considerable thought and study into the proposition is that the present rates are sufficient to give a fair earning on the capital necessary to install an adequate and well operated telephone system. If you want your residence tele-, phone to cost you sl2 a year instead of s2l a year and if you want ybur business telephones to cost' you $24 instead of from $36 to S4O, now.is the time to become active 'in the plans to present the cause of the patrons to the commission.
