Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 July 1909 — Page 1 Advertisements Column 1 [ADVERTISEMENT]

To Prospective flutual Telephone Patrons. The matter of organizing a mutual telephone company in Jasper county is progressing nicely and some active work toward organization will likely be begun in a very few days. In the meantime do not tie yourselves up with any long-time contracts with any old company, no matter what concessions they may offer when they see this movement for a mutual organization is likely to be a success. ’ Don’t forget what has caused the concessions, if any are made, and think about how long it would be were you to agree to continue with 'the old company before they would hold you up again, Should the mutual movement fail. Now is the time to cut loose, once and for all, and lend your assistance in a movement which will benefit not only yourself and family but your neighbor and his family as well. The Democrat expects to have something more of a definite character to publish along«this line in its next issue. WATCH FOR IT.
