nephew, Thomas L. Hollett. Thomas has heen sick but the Mayor was told tha he was back | in school now. “Tell him to take good care of! and then he | concluded, “Well, goodby.” This was the first, conversation on the 100,000th telephone. : “It worked very successfully,” the Mayor grinned.
Mr. Longsworth Calls
Then Walter I. Longsworth, pres: ident of the Inclianapolis Chambe: of Commerce, called Edward Zink, one of the chambeér’s vice presiy dents. Mr.
Longsworth | informed M:.
' |Zink that he (Mr. Longsworth) was
all right and then he read a little conversational speech in which hg said some very nice things about the telephone company.
For your information, the firgt telephone displayed in Indianapiolis was at the State Fair in 1877. On Oct. 1, 187, Cobb & Branham, coal dealers, received permission from City Council to run telephorie wires ‘from their ‘office at Market and Delaware Sts. to their yards ¢n Christian Ave. and |S. Delaware fit. $0 many people called up just %o see how it worked instead of to order coal that the device was 50¢ nm removed.
First Exchange in 1878
The first exchange was openzd here in 1878 in the Vance Block at Washington £t. and Virginia Ave. On Dec. 31, 1880, less than 100 phones were in use but on Dec. 31 1940, a total 'of 99.954 were operating. And now there 100,000." In his speech Mr, Carroll predicted that the 100,000th soon will be surpassed and ne invited anycne present at the ceremony to mike a long distance call to anywhere in the United States free. No one accepted the offer. The 100,000th phone will be left in the museum-—but the free long distance offer is off.

“SMOKING OUT” THE FACTS about nicotine. Experts, chemists — and intricate laboratory machines—analyze the smoke of 5 of the largest-sq lling brands...find that the smoke of slower-burning Camels

~
tested — ess than any of them! Now Science confirms still another
advantige—Camel’s slower bugning means less micotine in the smoke— less than any of the four other largestselling brands tested ...28% less than the average! Yes, when you measure the pleasure of a cigarette...the smoke’s the thing. Make Camels your steady smoke and . enjoy all the advantages that only Camel's slower burning... costlier to baccos can give. There’s even an economy advantage (see left).
ES, the smoke’s the thing! After all, you don’t get anything from a cigarette until you've lighted it... until it's burning. And there is the secret of an advantage Camel smokers have enjoyed for years. For Camel’s costlier tobaccos are slower-burning. | Slower-burning for more coolness and mildness—for Camels are free from the excess heat and irritating qualities of too-fast burning. Slower-burning for more flavor because slow burning pre- . serves tobacco flavor and fragrance.
