Show A-13 The Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, April 2-5, 2005 FROM TIME TO TIME GRAND OPENING EAGLE NAILS After telephone service, life will never be the same 50 Years Ago Compiled by KAT JAMES Of the Record staff 100 Years Ago •Cost of telephones The thoughtful man who is about to install a telephone in his place of business or his home asks himself this question: Who can I reach with my telephone?" A telephone at $10 a year might be a very expensive instrument; one at $100 a year might be very cheap. A telephone that does not enable the subscriber to talk to a large majority of his friends and his business associates is not worth having, no matter how little it costs. An instrument through which the subscriber may readily engage in conversation with anyone with whom he desires to talk on social or business matters is worth having no matter what the cost. The Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Company is without a real competitor in the intermountain country in this respect. In Park City it has no rival and it can never have one here. The reason for this is easy to explain. Park City is in a sense, isolated. It must depend upon the telephone for instant communication with outside points. To reach these outside points the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone system must be used. The wires of the Rocky Mountain Bell run into every city in Utah. They run to every mine of any importance in the entire commonwealth. From your home or your office in Park City, you can communicate without delay with any city or any mine. Your Rocky Mountain Bell telephone puts you in touch with 8,000 subscribers in Salt Lake City and with thousands more elsewhere and there lies the only real test of telephone value. And in the face of these facts the Rocky Mountain Bell Company is reducing the price of telephones to its Park City subscribers. The movement is entirely voluntary on the part of the company. It is merely the result of increased business, accompanied by a desire to give Park City the best telephone service at the lowest rates consistent with large circulation and efficient management. and Costello's contractual longevity at one studio - U-I has always been Bud and Lou's home lot can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Various theories have been advanced explaining Abbott and Costello's spectacular successes. What do the comedy duo themselves think is the answer? Says Abbott: "We've always used a heavy broom on our material. Off-color stuff is out - we didn't even touch it in our burlesque days. Theater managers didn't like that much. They demanded more sex in our routines. We just told them we didnt know any blue jokes. That stopped the beefs cold." Says Costello: "We've always slanted our routines at kids. The small fry need laughs as much as adults. How are they going to get them from the so-called sophisticated, off-color junk too many comics peddle nowadays. Kids are great imitators. They make heroes out of entertainers and imitate them. So the entertainer has the responsibility of seeing the jokes are nice - not off-color junk." 1 0 a m - 7 p m Monday - Saturday 1700 Park Avenue East West Center 10 Years Ago •Council considers plan to beautify Main Street and rid it of dogs After a dozen fact-finding tours to other ski and resort towns around the country during the past year, Smiles Readyman, Park City's director of public affairs, has developed a way to both beautify Main Street and rid the town's central business district of loose dogs. Readyman's plan includes rounding up any unaccompanied dogs on Main Street and hitching them to small, specially constructed pony carts and having them pull the carls up and down Main Street. "A lot of cities have horse and carriages that take people on rides around the streets, but we wanted Park City to do something completely different, yet which would capture the flavor of Park City as it was in old mining days," said Readyman, adding that the dogs would be caught by a marksman hired to patrol Main Street around the clock and armed with a dart gun to stun the animals, should any declare a violent preference for the wandering life.

And Rock's following, grown consistently since "Magnificent Obsession," is giving wide geographic distribution to many articles of his wearing apparel. For instance, a pair of his size 11 shoes are now being used as window planters in the home of a Jonesboro, Ark. housewife, who planted petunias in the shoes after having them waterproofed, lined with tin and nailed to the front windowsills of the house. Several of Rock's old ties have become the centerpiece in a rag rug woven by a lady 1inmate of a Philadelphia old folks home. The muscular actor once donated three shirts to a group of youngsters at a summer camp who wanted to be the only kids in the state who had genuine movie stars' shirts sewn into the mainsail of their sailboat. Hudson's castoff hats are always in demand, too. He recalls sending a battered Stetson he had purchased on a Texas location to a man in Milwaukee whose hobby is making the headgear into lampshades. He had to express his regrets to the Illinois woman who had collected discarded vests from more than 50 male stars to weave into a gigantic tapestry mural depicting the landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock. Rock does not own a vest. 435.649.1668 Full Set $28.00 Ffll $18.00 Pedicure $25.00 Manicure $15.00 Pink & White $28.00 Air Brush Design, * Antiques €fallatu LANNY 435-658-3130 577 SOUTH MAIN STREET.
