M-^'Ji,




long Distance Calls



No matter how m.ny miles apart . . . long Distance brings people together in second.
When you are lonesome, just pick up your telephone for a friendly visit. When you are
worried, a telephone call is most re-assuring.

If there's business to be discussed in a distant city . . . there's no way better than a tele-
phone call.



STATION-TO-STATION CALLS . . . Call Station-to-Station if you're
willing to talk to anyone who answers. This type of call is faster
and cheaper. Charges start when the called telephone is answered.

To place a Station-to-Station call, give the Operator the name of
the place and the telephone number you are calling. If you don't
know the number, give her the name and address and explain
that you will speak to anyone at that number. When she gives you
the number, list it in your personal list of telephone numbers,
since calling by number is twice as fast. Give your telephone
number when the Operator asks for it.

PERSON-TO-PERSON CALLS ... Call Person-to-Person if you must
speak to a particular person, department, hotel room or switch-
board extension. The charges, which are higher than for a Station-
to-Station call, begin when the conversation starts. Charges may
be reversed without any change in rate.



To place a Person-to-Person call, give the Operator the name of
the place, the telephone number and the name of the person you
are calling. If you don't know the number, give the Operator the
name and address. When she gives you the number, list it in your
personal list of telephone numbers, since calling by number is
twice as fast. Give your telephone number when the Operator
asks for It.



COLLECT CALLS ... If the charges for a call are to be paid at the
distant telephone, tell the Operator when placing the call that it
is a Collect Call.

MESSENGER CALLS ... To call someone who has no telephone and
It is necessary for Long Distance to arrange for a messenger to
call the person to the nearest telephone. The Person-to-Person rate
applies, plus the actual charges for the messenger service.



For business or pleasure. Long Dis-
tance is fast and personal . . . and
it costs so little.

Rates and information concerning ini-
tial period, extra minutes and federal
taxes may be obtained by calling
"Long Distance."




CONFERENCE CALLS ... A family reunion or a business meeting
by telephone. You can talk with several people in different places
on the same call. Just ask Long Distance for the Conference Opera-
tor and tell her the names and numbers you wish to reach. She'll
make all the arrangements and call you.

MOBILE TELEPHONE CALLS ... You can make local and Long
Distance calls to automobiles, trucks, trains and boats equipped for
mobile telephone service. To place a mobile telephone call call
Long Distance and tell the Operator you wish to place a mobile
service call.

OVERSEAS TELEPHONE SERVICE . . . Calls to practically all the
world's telephones and certain ships at sea can be made from your
telephone. For further Information about this service and the rates
call Long Distance. To place an overseas call, tell the Long Distance
Operator you wish to place an overseas call and give her the name
of the country. Rates to many countries are reduced during night
hours and on Sunday.

BELL SYSTEM CREDIT CARD . . . Makes out-of-town calling easier
when you are away from your office or home. You can charge
out-of-town calls, any time, anywhere, and have the charges appear
on your business or residence telephone bill.



PLACE YOUR CALLS BY NUMBER
. . . IT'S TWICE AS FAST

Use the handy Blue Book of Telephone Num-
bers to keep a list of the
numbers you frequently
call. Keep it by your
telephone for easy refer-
ence and to jot down
numbers you get from
the Operators . . . either
Long Distance or Local.




Long Distance Rates Are Loiu

GENERAL INFORMATION



TARIFFS . . . Tariffs which show rates, rules and regulations for
telephone service and facilities, approved by the Regulatory Com-
mission, are available in our Business Office for public inspection.



TRANSMITTING MESSAGES . . . Employes of the Telephone Com-
pany are forbidden to accept oral or written messages to be trans-
mitted over the lines of the Telephone Company.



RELINQUISHING TELEPHONES FOR EMERGENCY CALLS . . . Some-
times an emergency arises when others on the line must make a
call in which property or human life_is^_[n jeopardy. When so in-
formed, please relinquish the line immediately just as you would
want them to do under similar circumstances.



ADVERTISING TELEPHONE NUMBERS . . . There are recognized
advantages of showing telephone numbers on stationery, signs,
cards, etc. Growth and changes in telephone facilities may require
the changing of telephone numbers, therefore, any of these show-
ing telephone numbers should not be printed in large quantities.



TELEGRAMS BY TELEPHONE . . . You may telephone telegrams,
cablegrams or radiograms to the Western Union Telegraph Co., and
have the charges appear on your telephone bill. You may also
telephone your messages from coin telephones, paying as you
would for a telephone call.



RECORDING OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS . . . Many businesses
have automatic answering and recording telephone sets to take
your calls and record any messages. A "beep" tone is the signal
that the device is starting to record. When you hear the "beep"
speak your message into the telephone clearly; you will have
about 30 seconds.

For your protection . . . the "beep" signal is produced automatically
by the device used to connect the recording equipment to the tele-
phone lines and heard about every 15 seconds on any telephone
call, indicates that your conversation is being recorded If you
don't want a record made, tell the party to disconnect his recorder.
You will know he has complied if the "beep" slops. Use of a
recorder without this signal is unlawful.



YOUR PHONE AWAY FROM HOME . . . More and more outdoor
•elephone booths are being placed at convenient locations every-
where; ready for use 24 hours a day, every day in the year.
There are hundreds of other telephone booths in buildings, stores,
hotels, gas stations, airports, railroad and bus stations, etc.
You are always near a public telephone. Instructions as to how to
use it are displayed on or near each 'phone.



PARTY LINE COURTESY . . . When several persons share the use
of a telephone line, consideration and courtesy are important to all.
Everyone will enjoy better service if each one will be reasonably
brief . . . space calls so the other party can place his calls . . . and
give up the line for emergency use.



TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES

Telephone directories distributed from time to time by the Tele-
phone Company remain the property of the Telephone Company,
shall not be mutilated, and shall be surrendered upon request or
upon the delivery of the subsequent issue.



DIRECTORY ACCURACY . . . Even though every effort is made to
compile this directory accurately, errors sometimes occur. The Com-
pany assumes no liability for damage arising from errors or omis-
sions in publishing this directory. Please report incorrect listings
promptly so that we may change our records and do whatever we
can to protect your service in the meantime.



AVOID CALLING WRONG NUMBERS . . . Calling wrong numbers,
resulting in inconvenience and loss of time, can be avoided if you
consult the current directory before placing a call and dispose of
obsolete directories.



INFORMATION SERVICE . . . Telephone numbers which do not
appear in the current directory may be secured by calling "Infor-
mation." When you get a number from "Information," jot it down
in your personal list for future use.



THE YELLOW _PAGES ... The "Yellow Pages," as most everybody
knows, are the classified sections of telephone directories. In them,
people quickly find where to buy the things they want. The Yellow
Pages bring together the makers of products, the local dealers who
sell and service them, and the customers who want them.



ATTACHMENTS TO DIRECTORIES ... No binder, holder, insert or
auxiliary cover or attachment of any kind not furnished by the
Telephone Company shall be attached to or used with the direc-
tories owned by the Telephone Company, except that this prohibi-
tion shall not apply to a subscriber— provided binder, holder, in-
sert, or auxiliary cover which contains no advertising and which
is not so attached as to impede reference to essential service
information or otherwise interferes with service.



OUT-OF-TOWN DIRECTORIES . . . Telephone directories of other
cities in this country and certain foreign countries can be obtained
for our customers. Prices, etc., may be secured from the Business
Office.



TELEPHONE COMPANY "EXTRAS"

CONDUCTED TOURS . . . We enjoy playing host to groups on con-
ducted tours of our buildings. If you would like to tour our facili-
ties, we'll do our best to make the arrangements.



PROGRAM AIDS FOR ORGANIZED GROUPS . . Interesting pro
grams on telephone subjects can be arranged free of charge. De-
scribed below are the two main types of programs.



LECTURE DEMONSTRATIONS . . . Telephone speakers can be
booked for all kinds of meetings. Talks include information on
many new exciting developments in the world of communications
and other timely subjects.

Ask for a list and description of the m.any fascinating programs.



TELEPHONE MOTION PICTURES . . . Many entertaining and in-
formative sound-motion pictures on telephone and scientific subiects
are available free of charge.
