NOW you can have your laundry work “Soft Water Washed”

We have just added to our equipment at p,rf*at expense a ‘'Permutit” Water Softening Filter—a wonderful apparatus that takes our hard local water and makes it softer than the softest rain water in order that you may have a higher grade of laundry work than you have ever known before. ■< From now on, we will use this “rain soft” water exclusively in all our processes which means that our customers will get a grade of work that no laundry using hard water can equal. ^ This soft water washing means lighter handling of all laundry work; longei life to shirts, collars and cuffs; linens sweet, fresh and snow white; flannels clean, soft and fluffy; laces and lingerie preserved; comfort, cleanliness, satisfaction.

t RADICAL CHANGE

r

The Greencastle Telephone Company was organized in 1894, as a busi- ■ venture, out of which its organizers expected to make money, the i.ae as men who establish a store or build a factory. At that time it. owner- stood to lose, break even, or make money, dependent upon how uich they could charge for service without driving away customers. It \v;i a venture the same as groceries, dry goods or any other business. | in it the element of speculation. If they could make TO, 20, 60 oi even 100 per cent upon their investment, well and good, just a< today •I,ore i no law preventing the merchant or a manufacturer from making lit, 20, 50 or even 100 per cent upon his Investment if he is able to do so. Tne enactment, however, of the public utility law in 1013 and the advent ,,i « i.mmission regulation for telephone companies practically took the Greencastle Telephone Company out of the commercial and the industrial ,1;, nf bu. inc-s and made of it e functional institution. WHERE THE MONEY GOES Many a man has asked himself this question without being able to ,n so it with anv degree of satisfaction. We know where our mone; roc . for the Uniform System of Accounts issued by both the Interstate • nuncrce Commission and the Public Service Comm is-ion of Indiana pro i i i,. how we hall classify our income and expense. W«- will not burden Mi with details but every dollar we take in is divided up and spent for ia c.. interest, insurance, rents, fuel, light, power, repair-, materials, man agement, office force, bookkeepers, office supplies, operators, repair men, inspi tors, “trouble shooters,” wire chiefs, and then if anything is left C l of the dollar, th<* stockholder is allowed a reasonable return. Each year the telephone company is required to furnish to the Public ci vice ( ommission of Indiana a report showing all details of its investi ei i in plant, it earnings, its operating expenses, its reserve for deproi ; , and unit ro t-. 'These report- are public record: which are open t„ \,, u at any time. They furnish means whereby the Commission can i • tration of our company with other companie and should it tie necessary require us to make change . We are thus held to the ricte-t account regarding financial operations. HOW MONEY,IS OBTAINED A telephone company’s money is divided into two classes: capital— in ney received from the sale of stock, bonds or other securities; revenuemonev received from operating its property. As a telephone company grow- it must have more capital. When a telephone company needs more capital it must -ell to the public more stock nr bonds. Hut if the company i not earning a reasonable return, who is going to be so fooii-h as to buy its securities? And if no one buys its securities the enmpain cannot expand to take care of the growing demand for its service and the commu- . , . To be in a healthy condition and to ei \ e th. community well :• telephone company should have sufficient revenue to pay operating expense and a fair rate of return.

attacked.

It is advisable in some case wher° corn is infested to pull up or cut off at ground the infested plants and ) these should be promptly burned or else carried to the barn lot and fed to cattle or chickens. Where the borers infest tomatoes or flower garden plants, one may secure a reasonable amount of relief by hand destruction of the borer. Thi can be done by pinching the stalk beginning at a point where the lar-
