Then you will be interested in the
following extract from a pertinent
article on courtesy between telephone
users by Frank J. Wisse. which APP
peared in the Telephone Engineer re-
Gently:
Would you rush into an office or up
to the door of a residence and Dlurt
OUT. Hello. hello-whom am l talk
ing TO? and then. when you receive
a reply. follow up your wild. discour-
teous salutation with: I don't want
you; get out of my way. l want to
talk with Mr. Jones' Would you!
That is merely a sample Of the impo-
lite and impatient conversations that
the telephone transmits many times a
day.
There Is most agreeable mode Of
beginning telephone conversation
which many people are now adopt
ing. because IL saves useless words
and is at the same time courteous and
direct. II runs thus:
THE telephone bell rings. and the
person answering ii says. Morton &
Co. Mr.. Baker speaking The per-
son calling then says. Mr.. Wood Of
Curtis & Sons wishes 10 speak With
Mr. White
When Mr. White picks Up the re-
cefyer he knows that Mr. Wood IS on
the other end of the line and without
any unnecessary and undisnified he'll
los he at once greets him with
the refreshinsly courteous salutation.
Good morning. Mr.. Wood That sa-
vors of the genial handshake that Mr..
Wood would have received had be cali
ed in person upon Mr.. White"
