Service

THERE undoubtedly public service that touches directly
many individuals and enters completely into the social
commercial life of the people does telephone service More
business transacted the telephone than there through
face conversations More social activities planned
invitations sent engagements made cancelled by
telephone than by any other means
This places tremendous responsibility upon those charged with
the duty Of rendering telephone service Any failure of the
would have disastrous effect upon both the business
and social relations of community general cessation of the
service would nationwide confusion
Telephone employees realize their responsibility and recognize
their obligation 1t is this loyalty to duty that makes possible
for the Telephone Company to render service under the
difficult conditions.
Quite generally there at this time inadequate facilities
ing congestion and confusion condition from which there
be immediate relief Sometimes the elements rage mad
fury but and brave the storms that the public may
be served Occasionally seOge Of sickness depees the ranks
adding to the burden Of those who but who perform their
difficult tasks with smiling determination to continue the
service
With such spirit the telephone organization the service will
at all times be the best that human effort produce the face
of whatever adverse circumstances may prevail
