little Chats With Telephone Users
HAVE you ever visited a telephone central office? Have you any i^ea what goes on behind the scenes during those few seconds between the lifting of the receiver and the answering voice of your far-away friend?
There is mutual advantage in a visit to one of our central offices. It makes for better under¬ standing between us. The knowledge you gain of how to use the telephone and of our methods of operation should make the tele¬ phone more valuable to you and should aid us in our eiforts to furnish the best telephone service of which science is capable.
There are many people who never have seen one of our exchanges in operation, so we are going to take this opportunity in a series o( newspaper chats to tell them about these things that we'd rather have them see for themselves.

DO you realize that yonr oil cook- stove acts very differently with different grades of kerosene ? If you want the clearest, hottest flame with complete freedom from smoke and odor, you should be care¬ ful nhout what goes into the reser¬ voir of your oil stove.
All Kerosene is not alike by any means. And the good kind is enough better to be decidedly worth asking for.
Say "Socony" (So-CO-ny) to the grocer's boy when he comes to take your oil can. In that way you can be sure of getting reliable fuel— Socony Kerosene Oil, which is the Standard Oil Company ot New York's best kerosene.
Standard Oil Company of New York
NEW YORK—BUFFALO 'Principal Office* ALBANY—BOSTON
Socony Kerosene is absolutely clean and clear-burning whenever and wherever you buy it. It does not make wick crust—you do not need to clean the burners so often and you get a bigger money's worth of heat.
Look for the Socony sign in the win¬ dows of groceries, hardware and gen¬ eral stores everywhere which carry Socony Kerosene Oil. It is the sign of quality and a reliable dealer.
We recommend the following oil burning devices as the best of their kind: New Perfection Oil Cook- stoves and Water Heaters, Perfection Smokeless Oil Heaters, Rayo Lamps and Lanterns.
