HOW MANY DROPS
 FILL A BUCKET?

More than 2,5OO telephones have been given up by Connecticut business firms in recent months and installed in homes In view of the large number of people waiting for tele- phones, this may seem like "drop in the bucket" But we treasure every telephone because every one counts in filling the enor nous war demand for service.
 Our Customer Service Representatives who worked SO closely with Connecticut industry to make possible the release of these instru- ments are serving the war in another way. They are saving time and money and steps - by planning more efficient communications systems for war plants by showing how better use can be made of the service they have. Connecticut will benefit from this work even after the war is won because business will be better prepared to speed con- version to peacetime production.
