The Enterprise

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS AND THE PUBLIC: 
  Owing to the heavy losses we have sustained by the fire on July 10th of
this year, and the sleet last February, and the increased expenses per phone
in an exchange of 250 to 300 over a smaller one, and because what we have
to buy has advanced, we find it necessary to raise the price of phone rent
25 cents per month on residence phones and 50 cents per month on business
phones. This advance will go into effect October 1st. It is absolutely
necessary to do this in order to keep the company on a safe financial
basis.
  We now have 265 local subscribers and 150 country phones connected with
our exchanges. The increased in phone rent is small compared to the increased
number of connections we give you.
  We invite every subscriber to take a share of stock with us and by this
means he can share in all the profits accruing to the company.
  The directors are unanimous in this move and trust that all the citizens
of the town will stand up to us in the future as they have in the past.
Respectfully,
C.C. Brooks
T.C. Swann
C.E. Cook
Edward Heard
C.A. Harwell
J.W. Anderson
J.L. Stephenson
Directors of the Covington Telephone Co.
