The TELEPHONE HANDBOOK has met a want which has Jong been felt amongst users of the Telephone, as it provides an easy means of ascertaining the name of the Subscriber without the necessity of a search through the ordinary al- phabetical directory.
The TELEPHONE HANDBOOK costs $1 per copy and is sold on the strict understanding that on the publication of a new one the old one will be returned to the publishers. The proviso is made in the interests of Subscribers in view of the frequent changes that take place.
