Your Telephone World
why, 4 cOnidn 4 find his name IN
the telephone directory"

This is the reply get occasionally when |
ask subscriber why he didn't send toll or long
distance message, and thus quickly settle some
important business OF family question.
AS it would be practically impossible to include
in one book all subscribers TO the Bell System,
each book is designed to include given radius
within which there numbers frequently called.
If Bell subscriber who lives outside this ra-
dius is wanted, you reach him quickly and
easily even if his name and number do not appear
in YOUR telephone directory. Just ask for the
Toll Operator and give her the name and address
of the person you want TO reach. It really makes
no difference whether he is in Skowhegan, Sioux
City or New York - wherever he is, if within
range Of telephone, he can be reached if he is
connected to the Bell System. If you know his
number, give it, but this IS not necessary except
on local calls Two-N Number Toll Calls.
The next time you want to reach some distant
friend whose name you cannot find in the tee-
phone directly, JUST CALL THE TOLL OPERA
TOR AND TELL HER YOUR STORY. She will
try TO help you, and may be able TO get message
to your friend, though he has no telephone
and bring him to Pay Station to talk 10 you.
