Phone Co. Seeks
TO Improve Service

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 27.-Perhaps
there is no public service work
which is so closely in touch with
its patrons as telephone company
where patrons are using the lines
every minute of the day and where
a seconds delay seems like an
hour. For this reason and with a
view toward improving its service
the Southern Bell telephone COM
panY sent out today to all subscri-
bers a return post card with hints
as to how best to use phone for
results, and with the request that
the following questions be answer
ed ny return mail:
"Does your operator answer
promptly? Is your phone located
where you can hear the bell and
answer promptly? Are you called
often when not wanted. Do you re-
port all troubles promptly to Com
plant at the time they occur?
There is a space left for remarks
on the service. The company
hopes by gathering these answers
to find out just where it is lacking
in efficient service and to correct
all defects. !.
