an answer in day or several days. If
it was very important, the telegraph
carried the news and answer at much
expense If we wanted something
from the store or Office a long walk
was necessary.

keeper or friends over the phone just

We hear every word, the natural voice.

faintest sound. Yet so many fail to
recognize this great accommodation
We call number. Dozens of others
are calling at the same time, we do not
realize the minutes or maybe hours we
are saving. We want the connection
right away We grow impatient and
ring again or scold. Yet with all this
occurring so many times a day the
operator maintains her temper and an
swers you as quickly as she can.
TelephOning is mutual operation.
Treat the operator as you would if you
were calling at her door and asking a
question or favor. Always be polite in
your inquiry. in your answers don't be
gruh, remembering it may be lady
you are to talk to. and you will the
more enjoy your telephone service. Be
as polite in your talk as if you were in

while and see how much more you will
enjoy your telephone during 1909.
