Yes. the Democrat likes to be called
up by telephone, especially when there
is an item of news or something else OF
value coming in-you don't do it enough;
but for goodness sake don't begin say
ing Hello-hello-hello" the instant
Central let's 90 the bell lever. You can't
hear the answer while you are talking
yourself, and you're simply wasting your
breath and our patience. Nothing is
more exaSperating about the telephone
business than to answer call promptly,
and to hear with increasing distinctness,
as the receiver gets nearer your ear, a
monologue like this, with pauses of per-
haps a quarter of second: Hello!
Hello, Democrat? Hello, Hello, Is this |
the Democrat office? Hello! Hello?
