The telephone company asks the CO.
! operation of its subscribers in carving
. out the rule of calling by number instead
or by name as some of them have been
doing In the past. This request is made
because the exchange has grown to sucn
| large proportions that the operators find
1t impossible to memorlZe all the num-
bers. The exchange now has over 500
, SUBSCRIBERS. In case of change of
operators If the calling was done by
name the service would be very much i'm
paired, whereas If all calling was done by
number the change would not be felt. In
case OF a subscriber not being listed in
the catalogue or not found when looked
for, the caller will be referred to the
chief operator, who will give the number.
! This method of calling takes but little
time. saves time in the end, and has been
found to be the only way to handle the
hi ii in oil 10 oh n.
lowing this rule in all cases except emer-
gency calls, such as fire. police or hurry
calls for doctors, all trouble will be avoid
ed and tine service will be much improved
