Telephone Lines Are
the Busiest In History
Yon Can Help Us to Help Yea
We want you to know that we arc meeting the war
emergency with everything we have, but in these)
critical times delays are bound to occur.
In speeding Victory, the telephone line are
busier far busier than ever before. We cannot
plan and build new lines and new switchboard,
as we normally would, because copper and other
strategic materials have gone to war in plane,
tanks, anl guns.
Unnecessary and needlessly long telephone
calls should be out for "the duration." War calls
must be given the green light.
Your considerate thoughtf nines in making
only the most urgent calls is inspiring to all of ui
who are earnestly endeavoring to uphold the finest
traditions of telephone service. May we also ask
you to help us further to help you by being
brief on all calls, by calling by number when mak
ing long distance calls, and by answering call
promptly.
Thank you.
