NEEP CLEANER SOIL AND SEED In spite of the fact that official reports indicate that over a per- 5^d of years there is no decline in c:-op yields, there are still many districts whore the impression pre- vails that 'he harvests are not what they used to be.

Every Bell Televhone is a Lcng Distance Station - Mew way c/ e . . . . : . - ' ^ ' - - Many progressive firms today are using long distance telephone service to get sales at lower costs. They divide their territories into "Key Towns" from which dif- ferent groups of customers can be called conveniently and econ- omically. We assist in this by compiling Sequence Lists of calls and giv- ing each call a Code Number. The salesman then just tells the Long Distance operator: "I want numbers 2, 6 and 9 on my Se- quence List". The increased facilities for long distance service make Key-town Selling by Code Numbers more efficient than ever. We shall be glad to explain the details and help you organize your lists.
