PHILADELPHIA ha. outgrown the

PHILADELPHIA has outgrown the
I manually operated telephone .ystem.
Philadelphia Is too big for anything but
the BEST that modern telephone engi-
neering provides; her need for quick,
reliable communication is too urgent;
her industries are too dependent upon the
intimate contact that the telephone
makes possible. Philadelphia telephone
requirements DEMAND the Automatic
Telephone-have demanded it ever
since the days when the increased activi-
ties of the war period created conditions
with which no manually operated tele-
phone system could cope successfully.
Consider the newer but proven Auto
matte Telephone System rs compared
with the old manually operated system.
Instead of passing call by word of
mouth to a telephone operator-instead
of subjectins your call to the thousand
and one possibilities of error and delay

that are unavoidable where the human
element enters so largely into the opera
tion-YOU will simply turn the Key
stone dial and presto! YOUR telephone
will be connected with any other Phila-
delphia telephone in the Keystone Sys-
tenn! YOU will be the controlling factor.
The entire system will literally be at
YOUR finger tps as you turn the dial.
II DOES suggest the use of magic.
Yet consider that one hundred and fifty
widely-scattered cities in which every
possible telephone condition Is met arc
using this system today and that eventu-
ally ALL cities will be using it.
The work of converting the present
Keystone System is probably the biggest
job that any telephone company has
ever undertaken. Keystone engineers
are working now so that the change
can be made at once and WITHOUT
INTERRUPTION TO THE SERVICE.
