wBm w^ m JVN'cdticsdav, September 21, 1949 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE i] .<^\ H««««;"'::^<jtf»i««'/ In THi; PAST ftjur years we added more than half a million telcplioneb and installed new equipment in every ex- change ill Ontario and Quebec. At the same lime we were able to make substantial inij)rovements in service. But it took a lot of money, over two hundred million dollarsl There remains jiiurh to he done'. Many applicants are still waiting lor telephone service, end many more sub- scribers' present service is not aileqiiate to their needs. We intend to meet their wishes, and to continue making tlie service clearer, faster, better in every way. This will take more niilliuns for new equipment and buildings. As in the past, this money must come Irom the savings ol thousands of Canadians who are willing to invest in the telephone business. »;â- â€¢ THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA Creemore Couple Are 50 Years Married THE flesberton Advance JM>lished on Collii^rwood 8t^ Flcsherton, Wednesdaj of eaeb ) -Mk.
