Paid while you learn; women who enter telephone work are not limited to the actual work of operating at the switch board; those who are ambitious and. display energy and ability may advance rapidly to posi- lions paying salaries of s1Oo per month and more. One out of every nine young women in the telephone service occupy supervisory positions. and in Birmingham the salaries of such positions are from $so per month and up. A number of high grade young women are needed in Birmingham to aug ment the operating force. From these will be selected many for supervisory positions at at tractive salaries, as required by growth and improvements. Women of superior education need not hesitate about enter ing telephone work; their ad- vancement and remuneration will be measured by their abil- ity, as is attested by the many college women now in the Bell telephone service. The condi- tions under which telephone work is done are ideal; the operating rooms are clean, well ventilated. well lighted and well heated. The rest rooms are attractive and comfortable; the dining rooms are bright spots of cleanliness. and the kitchens are among the most sanitary in Birmingham. The food is of the best quality. and served at actual cost. We'll known and experienced women act as matrons and devote their efforts toward safeguard ing the health and comfort of the young women.
