Chicago's telephone exchanges are
the busiest in the country, with an

That's exactly what it was. ant
there's a reason for it.

That's exactly what it was. and
there a reason for it.
It may seem a small thing for the
telephone girl to tack on that little
"please' at the end Of the answer
to calls, but the Southern Bell Tele-
phone and Telegraph management
doesn't think so. The company thinks
it's ample worth while, consequently
an order has been issued to every
telephone exchange in the Southern
Bell company's territory. whlch ex-
tends over seven States, that every
operator answers all calls in the fu-
ture by "Number, please? instead OF
simply inquiring "Number?'s
The order is effective at all eS-
changes of the company. 1t is believed
by the telephone management that the
change in the answer made by the
telephone girl to the calls that are re-
eeived will improve the service and
be thoroughly appreciated by the pub
lie.
Now, don't think because You fail
to Get the new answer that the tele-
phone girls are not on the job as the
order calls for. It's just case of hav-
ing gotten the habit-see? Give them
a little time to tack on the ''please y
and see if you don't feel better with
the new order Of things. You'll be de-
lighted with that sweet little
t:please'' before you know it.-Col-
