GIVE GREETINGS BY TELEPHONE
Americas People will FeIicitate AS
Usual.

The usual, but rather unique, custom
of calling up relatives and friends in
distant tcities, over the long distant tel
ephone, and extending them Christmas
and New Year greetings, will be OBJ
served this year by large number of
people in Americas. The toll boards
of the Southern Bell Telephone COM
pany are crowded with calls of this
nature during the holiday season, and
the indications are that this business
will be greater than ever during the
present holidays. In order that the
heavy traffic may be handled with dis
patch and with as little delay as pos
sible the Southern Bell company is
advising those who contemplate in
pointments in advance. To make an
appointment call it is simply necessary
to call ''long distance" give the oper-
ator the name and location of the party
wanted and state the hour the talk is
desired. The operator will arrange to
have the party in the other city. at the
telephone at the hour named. The
custom of talking to relatives and
friends over the telephone is growing
every year and the extensive develop
ment of the long distance lines makes
it possible to reach people in almost
every city at small cost.
