Telephone Service
During the Shrine
Convention
The Telephone Company serves nor
NAL population of about 100000 in the City
of Washington. During the Shrine Conven-
ton this number will be increased by at least
100000 Shriners and other visitors to the
city, most of whom will want to use the tele-
phone.
AS result there will be tremendous in
crease in the number of telephone calls,
which will be difficult to handle unless we
have the fullest cooperation of the users---
that ls our regular patrons and visitors.
The Company has been planning for
months to have the service speedy and satis-
factory inevery respect during this period of
unusual demand, and those operating the
telephone system pledge their earnest efforts
in fulfilling their responsibilities.
LONG CONVERSATIONS BY
USERS OF THE SERVICE WILL
