Telephone Lines Are
the Busiest In History
Ton Can Help Us to Help Yon
We want you to know that we are meeting the war
emergency with everything we have, but in these
' critical times delays are bound to occur.
In speeding Victory, the telephone lines are
busier far busier than ever before. We cannot
plan and build new lines and new switchboards,
as we normally would, because copper and other
strategic materials have gone to war in planes,
tanks, and guns.
Unnecessary and needlessly long telephone
calls should be out for "the duration." War calls
must be given the green light.
Your considerate thoughtfulness in making
only the most urgent calls is inspiring to all of us
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 calls
promptly.
Thank you.
