1. " A llo w in g a lit t le tim e b e tw e e n c a ll« ,"
says Janie, “gives others a chance to call me . . .
and it’s a nice party-line courtesy, too.” So when
she’s getting the gang together fo r a picnic, or
for any reason needs to make calls in a row, she
waits several minutes between each one " I t ’s
simple to make friends w ith others on our line.
I just use the telephone the way I like them to.”
3 . G e ttin g th e m ost from the telephone— and
helping others get better service— depends in
part on every telephone user. Facilities have
doubled in the West in ten years. Your telephone
is today one o f your most valuable servants , , .
saving time, saving steps. And it still does its job
for just a few pennies a call.
2 . L o o kin g up n u m b e rs , Janie knows, is really
important. "So easy to get them mixed up,” she
explains. “ W h y, I was just sure Babs’ number
was 8145 . . . but when I called her I got the drug
store. Turned out her number was 8415. So un
less I ’m really sure o f a number, I ’m going to
lock it up in the telephone book.’’ That's a good
tip for all o f us— teen-agers and grown-ups.
Your telephone is one of
today’s best bargains
