I We at the telephone company are planning to make it a good year even better than last year, when it comes to the speed, dependability, and value of your telephone service. Growth is a word that is familiar to all La Marque residents and certainly to the utility companies who serve your area. We expect to gain ten percent in total telephones again this year that's a rapid pace.

It's our feeling that our most important job is to give you the kind of telephone service you want and need in 1957 and the years ahead. So if there's anything we can do to make your service more pleasant and helpfuj, please dcjn't hesitate to call on us. Three for Two's a Bargain La Marque people made more out-of-town calls last year than in any previous year a fact which speaks well of the value of our Long Distance service. Many of you who made these calls realized big savings, too, by placing your calls station-to- station. That way, you saved up to because you can make three station-to-station calb for about the price of two person-to-person calls.

Here's an example of what I mean. You can make three station-to-station calls from here to Houston for only $1.20. Two person-to-person calls to the same city will cost $1.30. 7 This year, why not call station-to-station when you call Long Distance? You'll save money. And you'll top, ityo call by number.

Kitchen Helpers There's a lot of truth in saying, "The kitchen is the heart of the home." It's certainly that a homemaker spends about as time in the kitchen as in any other room in the house. I guess that accounts for the popularity of some of the wonderful new "kitchen helpers," like dishwashers, waste disposals, and freezers. No wonder they're popular! Think of how much drudgery these conveniences save the homemaker. There's another "kitchen helper" I'd like to mention that's growing in popularity, too. That's an additional telephone.

Kitchen phones save time and steps for busy housewives, and make it easier to keep in touch with friends. Additional telephones for any room in the house are low in cost just $1.00 a month, plus tax and a small installation charge. Just call the telephone business office.
