Left-over wire gets new lease on life
In the telephone busi
ness, we call the wire
that leads from your
telephone at home to
the pole outside a
"drop" wire. Maybe
you've seen some of our
men putting up drop
wires around town. If
you have, you probably
noticed that a few short
pieces were left over on
some of the jobs. Now,
these odds and ends of
wire weren't of much
use until recently. It
was too costly to splice
them together. But now
an economical way has
been found to join drop
wire scraps Into long, continuous pieces which can be put to work.
Naturally, this is a big cost-cutter . . . one that helps us as we work
to keep down the prices you pay for service. Pacifio Telephone works
to make your telephone a bigger value every day.
Home's never very far away
by telephone
Just because Dud's out of town
on business, he needn't be out of
personal touch with the rest of
the family. In just moments, you
can all be totether again visit
iii;, lauyhinij, trading the latest
news. For even when you're far
away, home's as near as the
closest tclcplumr. And a visit by
long distance is almost like be
ing there in person. It costs so
little, too. You can make a
three-minute "station'' call clear
across the country, after 6 p.m. weekdaysand all day Sunday,
for only tt-00 (plus tax). And of course, rates for shorttr distances
are even less. Bo let long distance keep you in close touch with your
family and friends. It's a pleasure you can hardly afford to miss.
