TO THE CUSTOMERS
OF THE o. Il. TEAPOT

1t will be well for you to give us
your name the first thing, when giving
us an order over the telephone.
We try to get your name the first
, thing, but can't always do so.
BY giving your name as soon as you
get us. will do away with the annoy
ance of being cut off while you are
giving an order. Unfortunately, this
happens very often, and unless we
recognize your voice. we are at a loss
what TO do, for we have your order
and not your name.
We are not familiar with the tele-
phone business, so can't blame the
mana cement or the operators for these
blunders.
We don't want to take the blame or
ourselves, therefore we are making
this explanation. You at the other
end are apt to think that we are care
less in our way of doing business.
Such is not the case, for your tele-
phone orders get the same careful at
| tention that your orders get which
are given in person.
For the convenience of our patrons,
we have two phones (16 and 174) and
