FIGHT PICTURES AT CLEVELAND
Deceived His rriends.
Willard not onlv lied to his friends, but he deceived the public as well. He just went into the ring to put up his hands, do the best h could ani!ooll"ct a huge cup. nd. We still say that Willard was a silent partner- wi h Tex P.ickard in the promoting of the big battle at Toledo, but he never figured for one moment that he would get the murd'rous beating that iK-mpsey tiaii;ed out. It was a terrible beating. It was Oempsey's battle on a knockout and it will go down that way in the historv of the boxing game, but the
fact that Willard is the world's greatest pugilistic disappointment must not be overlooked.

Selling Service
A
TELEPHONE company sells serv ice. It does
not sell or rent telephones.
The instrument in your home or office is of use to you only by reason of the service rendered. The bill you pay is distinctly a service charge. Andtelephoneserviceisdifferentfromotherservices. If your neighbor's gas supply is defective, his lighting poor, or his water supply inadequate, you are not affected. These annoyances concern only himself and his household. But if his telephone is out of order and you cannot reach him when you cail, or if he makes you wait long before he answers, your telephone-service is unsatisfactory. Thus the service of any telephone user may be rendered unsatisfactory by the habit or act of another. In the interest of good telephone service, we suggest the observance of the following simple practices:
Respond promptly when the bell rings. Make sure before calling that you have the right number by consulting the telephone directory first. Speak distinctly, with the lips close to but not touching the mouthpiece. When answering give your name or the name of your firm cutting out "Hello."
