J. H. Creager, your Telephone Manager for Central Point
What makes a company a good citizen ?
•
We, at the Telephone Company, often ask ourselves what makes
a good citizen because both as men and women and as a Com
pany we want to be the best citizens we can. A good citizen pays
taxes, of course. And, naturally the Telephone Company does
this, paying property taxes of $163.650 last year in this county
alone. As you know, this money comes from the telephone bills
you pay. And the tax dollars we pay are dollars that contribute
a substantial amount to good government in the community.
But we believe it’s not enough just to be a taxpayer. So we try
to do our part in the community in other ways. We think it is
important to take part in the activities of the Community Chest,
the Red Cross, the Boy and Girl Scouts and other community
affairs. Fact is, we believe the ways of being a good citizen are
unlimited and we’re anxious to do our part.

Wish them well-by long distance
A wedding is one of the most
important events in their lives.
And a long distance call, wish
ing them well as they step out
together, will make them fee)
extra good. For occasions like
this or when you just want to
take a few minutes to say hello
to someone special, long dis
tance is the warm and close
way. Why not look in your di
rectory and see how very little
it costs to call someone very
dear to you.

How to go shopping in your armchair
It’s easy when you use the Yel
low Pages. No matter what you
want, be it a new furnace or just
a can of paint, you’ll find who
sells it and you’ll find them
fast by looking in the Yellow
Page section in the Medford and
vicinity phone book. The class
ified part of your telephone book
comes in handy, too, when you’d
like to shop around a little, get
prices without leaving your
house. Yellow Pages are a good
guide to good shopping. Use
them often when you want to
reach the folks who sell or serve
here in Central Point. Pacific
