ky Tom Goib. Manager
This Is my first article to appear in the Teague Chronicle
since assuming the duties as Manager for the Southwes-
tern Bell Telephone Company In Teague.
I thought It only proper to furnish you with a little infor-
mation about myself;
Bom November 7, 1926, at Del Rio, Texas.
Married - have three small children.
Started to work with the Telephone Company as a lines-
man In September, 1947, at San Antonio.
Moved to Uvalde In April 1952, as a Business Repreacs i
tatlve.
In June 1954, was appointed Acting Manager at Cuero.
Moved to Austin as Commercial Staff Assistant on that
Division Staff In July 1956.

Harold W. Price, previous Manager, on his new job.
NEW TIME
V-Vi
Don’t forget to watch 'Telephone Time” on Channel
K C E N - TV, at 7:30 p.m. each Wednesday evening.
WHY NOT PERSONALIZE IT?
"Telephone service la telephone service,” a friend of miss
said the other day. "What’s so different about it now thaw
before?"
I was glad he asked me. It gave me a chance to bring hiaa
up to date about complete, convenient telephone planning:
“Look at it this way,” I said. "A Model-T will still get yam
from here to there. But you wouldn't want one for yasar
family car. Ycu have the latest model. And before yew
bought It, you looked over all the models, styles, special
features — even colors — and picked out the one that suit-
ed you best,
“And It’s the same way with phone service these day*.
You can select a telephone arrangement that exactly fits
your own needs.”
Here’s what I meant:
Enough telephones so you don’t have to run to answer
(or walk halfway through the house to make a call).
Telephone In color In bedrooms and kitchen to harmonise
or contrast with your room decorations.
Phone book listings for everyone In the house. And maybe
' a second main line for teen-agers.
And extra bells or signal lamps If necessary, s* nobody-
misses Important Incoming calls.
We re always happy to help plan a personalized home-
telephone arrangement. Several people In Teague already are
taking advantage of the many low-cost "extra" services we
offer.
For more details, why not call the telephone buslneaa.
office today? The number is 498.
PLANNING A VACATION
I
HUH
M
There’s a special value In telephone service that always
cornea to mind when vacation time rolls around.
No matter how far away your vacation takes you, lt*a ,
always easy to phone home and make sure everything's
okey. Or to stop at a road-side booth and call ahead for hotel
or motel reservations.
No matter where you go, the telephone is always nearby—*
ready when you need It
Don’t forget to Check with the Business Office on vaca-
tion rates while you'are out of town.
