If you keep a list of out-of-town numbers, you'll find calls are put through much faster often in 30 seconds.
TIPS FOR TOP LONG DISTANCE SERVICE
Ways to save money and minutes on out-of-town calls
1. Reduced rates begin at six in the evening . . . and
between six and seven is a good time to call. Long
Distance rates are low. And nights and Sundays are
a particularly fine bargain. For $2.00 or less (plus
tax) you can make a station call anywhere in the coun
try. After the first three minutes, time is chirged by
the minute ... not as another three-minute period.
3. When you call across the country or across town,
you're using a service that's a finer value than ever
before. With your telephone, you can reach twice as
many people as 10 years ago. You can call more of the
people you want to call . . . more can call you. And at
rates that make your telephone a real bargain.

2. For best service, place your call with the operator
like this: First, tell her the name of the town you're
calling . . . then the telephone number (or the name
and address) . Next, if it's a person call, give her the
name of the one you want to reach. And if you've
made notes ahead of time, you'll find you can say as
much in three minutes as in an average letter.
