A FINDER OF PEOPLE

Emergencies are constant
ly arising which make it nee
essary to communicate with
persons whose exact loca-
tons are not known. In
view Of this fact Bell opera

them together in emergencies
when probably no other
means Of communication
would be available.
Bell operators are trained

They have complete infor-
nation concerning residents

find parties wanted by street
addresses. occupation. bust
ness or other indications in
the absence Of names. Their
facilities for locating tram
sients are good. Messengers
are on duty at railway sta
tions. and are frequently able
to intercept travellers by des-
cription. and bring them to
a telephone.
Night service is particu-
larly thorough and sympa-
thetic. for it is recognized
that calls then. when the

likely to be Of the utmost
urgency.
Toll charges in emergency
