connected with the residence by underground conduit—a total of 78 in all. A number of individual rooms contain two outlets, thus offering a choice of telephone locations.
These 78 outlets are served by 53 telephones, some of which may be moved from one outlet to another as occasion demands. The telephones are linked together by a 740-A Bell intercommunicating system, with four central-office trunk lines.
This equipment makes it possible to talk from any part of the residence to any other—to other buildings on the estate—or to the outside world -—with equal ease, over the same Bell instruments. It saves endless steps and countless minutes—keeps servants more content—and owners more comfortable.

The conduit permits outlets to be located wherever they’re wanted, conceals all wiring and protects against certain kinds of service interruptions.
Telephone convenience always ought to be planned carefully in advance. The local telephone company can help you—without charge. Just call the Business Office.
