Long Distance operators in many Western cities are "Jready putting through calls with "push-button" equip ment like this.. .as the program to speed up cross-country calls moves ahead. The program divides the nation into some eighty areas... each with a three-digit code. Your area's code, plus your own number, will distinguish your telephone from all others in the United States and parts of Canada. 3. We're making progress in extending this new "push button" plan. But it will, of course, be some time before it's used universally. Meanwhile, Long Distance service has been restored to prewar quality or better. And the cost? You can call anywhere in the nation for not more than $2.50, plus tax, at the day station rate for three minutes. Even less after six in the evening. A real value.
