FIVE MINUTE SERVICE.

The Chicago Telephone Co. had
five trunk lines from Hammond to
Gary, some time back, when Manager
Oscar Krinbill noticed that number
of toll calls were being lost every
day because of the fact that the lines
were too busy at certain times of
the day.
He called the matter to the atten-
tion of the Chicago Office They in
formed him that five trunk lines were
sufficient to take care of the business
that the reports showed was being
done between the two cities.
Krinbill determined to demon
strate the fact that additionai lines
would pay. He had his operators
keep tab on the calls that were lost
each day as a result of the overload
on the wires.
From the data which he finally &C
cumulated he estimated the amount
of additional business that he would
be able to do If he could give prompt
efficient service.
The result was that the Chicago
Office was convinced. Five addi
tional lines making 10 In all were
provided and from the day of their
installation they justified the faith
that Kripbill had in them
