And you live in a West undreamed of

Once in a groat while,
because of storms or
other emergencies, a
telephone central of
fice may be cut oil
from its usual source
of electric power. But
this doesn't interrupt
telephone service. In
your cent ral office are
special electric gener
ators, run by gasoline
or diesel engines. And
they take over the
job of charging the
large storage batter
ies that supply the
current to run the
telephone system.
Planning ahead for emergencies is another way we make
sure you have dependable, low-cost telephone service when
you need it. Pacific Telephone works to make your
telephone a bigger value every day.

Coast-to-coast
calls cost only
250 plus tax
Just think you can call
clear across the country
for just $2.50 plus tax. This
is the day station rate for the
first 3 minutes. Calls over
shorter distances to Chi
cago, Salt Lake City, etc.,
cost less. Still lower rates ap
ply for all calls on Sundays
and after6p.rn.on weekdays.
How you can enjoy even better telephone service
If yours is a party-line, you
will receive even better serv
ice by following these simple
points: When you have a
series of calls to make, take
time out between them. This
gives other people a chance
to reach you. Before you call,
make sure the line is clear.
And in cases where someone
else has to make an emer
gency call while you're talk
ing, the thoughtful thing is to
hang up and call back later.
