Notice to Telephone
Customers.

The Telephone Company is
calling the attention of it's sub
scribers to the Importance of
making telephone calls by mum
Der and not by name. 1t is stat
ed that the service will be more
efficient and more accurate if
subscribers will consult the di-
rectory and call by number.
In an exchange the size of Wig
gins no operator can carry in
her memory the names and mum.
bers of every subscri Der, and
delay must necessarily ensue in
many cases if only the uam9 Is
given. Often q new operator is
employed and the names Of the
subscribers are not at all familiar
to her, and no matter how expert
she may be she can not make
prompt connection when only the
name is given.
All telephones are known to
the operators by numbers which
are on the switchboard directly
before them. When the mum Der
is given the connection is made
almost mechanically. There is
also a distinct advantage to the
subscriber when calls are made
by number because it eliminates
the possibility of unnecessary
delay.
1t seems to have been a habit
among Wiggins subscribers, IN
the past. to call by name. But
the town is no longer in the vii
lage class and telephone officials
declare that the metropolitan
method of calling BY number is
necessary to efficient service.
The local management ex-
presses the hope and the belief
that telephone users in Wiggins
will cooperate with the Company
in it's effort to improve the ser.
