DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE KELLOGG UNIVERSAL SWITCHBOARD and how it is enabling old magneto exchanges to bring themselves up to common battery plants of the highest efficiency.

An even dozen of these boards are already in territory contiguous to Kansas City as follows: Remember that ultimately common battery service in all except the smallest plants is as sure as death and taxes, and be sure to write us before incurring any additional investment in magneto equipment either in telephones or switchboard. Write for our bulletins on unusual telephone and switchboard equipment and write to any of the above regarding the results they are getting.
