Telephone people work their busiest
gladly through the holidays knowing
that your telephone is performing one
of its happiest services at this time.
So, if you’ll try to place your long dis
tance calls early and avoid "bunching”
calls on Christmas day, they’ll see to it
that your telephone enjoys its full meas
ure of Christmas calls.
