Notice to Telephone Users
Owin.r to the fact that from time to
time we are obliged to employ new op
erators, who are unfamiliar with both
n imi'san i numbers of telephone users,
it becomes absolutely necessary that
we require you to call by number and
that you be earful to state whether it
is a "M:iin''or "Farm', number, giving
the word "Main" or "Farm" before
the nurnher. You will have no longer
to wait if you look up the number your
self than if the operator has to take
the time to do it for you, which re
quires not only you but possibly severa 1
others to wait.
A few numbers are ii correct in the
directory and some have been changed
since it was issued, therefore it may
happen that you get the wrong num
ber, in which case notify tha operator
who will give you the correct number,
a notation of which you can make in
your direetory.
If you will exercise as much patience
with us in miking this change as we
will with you, it will soon be accom -plished
nd with but very little incon
venience to either. This change will
not apply to those on farm lines until
the issuance of the new directory,
when they also will be required to call
by number.
Very truly yours,
INDEPENDENCE TEL. CO.
