LONG DISTANCE CALL
SERVICE IMPROVED
c. e P. Phone Company Announces
More Rapid Method of Reach
ing Other Cities.

An improved type Of toll service
on many Of its long distance con.
nections was put into operation to-
day by the Chesapeake G. Potomac
Telephone Co. The new service af-
fects calls TO such points as Rich
mond, Baltimore. Frederick. Norfolk,
Hagerstown, New York and PhiIa.
delphia.
Formerly, when a telephone sub
scTlber wished to call d distant city,
he was connected with a special long
distance operator who recorded the
details OF his call, and 1t was then
necessary for him to hang up his re-
celVer until the operator called him.
lnder the new system the sub
scriber will still ask for long distance
in the customary manner. hut il he
knows the number of the telephone
ne Is calling in the distant city, It
Will usually be possible for him to
OBTAIN the connection while he re-
mains at his telephone. as In making
Il local call. This fact will be com.
municated to him at the time he
places the call by the long distance
operator. who will request him to hold
the line. This method will apply 70
botn person-to-person and station.to.
sIa'lon calls, providing the subscriber
can furnish the number of the caIIed
telephone.
IL the subscriber is unable TO f,,r.
nlSh the number he is calling. or II
the call is TO point where the oner..
alor anticipates a delay In reaching
.fle called telephone. she Will request
MIN to hang up his receiver and the
