It makes it con venient for the city-employed man to live in the suburbs or country. “Handy to business” now means a pretty suburban resi dence or a home in the real country. Factories are built where land is cheap. The population of the over-crowded cities flows out into the country, relieving unsanitary conditions and improving the gen eral health of the community. The telephone has brought the city and country closer to gether. The Bell Telephone system is aiding in the upbuilding and growth of 70,000 communities, and giving impetus to the “back to the land” movement. flDarlborouglj^W I Llßknbciin' .*l, LAN TIC CITY, N. J.
