General Manager w. j. Melchers
of the Union Telephone company is a
hustler after business and when he
once secures the business he then
uses his utmost effort to see that the
customer gets prompt and efficient
service. 1t is largely through this
method of business that the Union
Telephone company's business has
steadily increased until today it stands
way up towards the top of the rec
ognized financial institutions of the
state
The service rendered ny the
operators has always been carefully
watched bv the management ana
every requirement necessary to
prompt service has been carefully
looked after and while this depart
ment of the work has ranked among
the best to be had anywhere. the
company deemed it a good thing to
bring together the operators from their
various stations and let them talk
their experiences over and by so doing
and listening to--the experiences of Old
operators and others skilled In the
work be better able to give the pub
lie the service demanded Tuesday

the operators in the surrounding ex-
changes at distance of 80 miles

Der of radiating toll lines, there being

entirely active operators.
Among those present was W. S.

Mr.. Mccormick, chief operator and
George Stratemeyer, assistant man
