FOR BETTER TELEPHONE SERVICE

When you finish talking over the telephone,
always be sure to give the handle a quick turn.
This tells the operator you are through talking.
If you DON'T "ring off,” one of two things
might happen:
Your next ring may bring the same per-
son back to the telephone, or.,.
The operator may think yon are still talk-
ing and, if someone tries to call yon in
the meantime, she may say, "The lirie is
busy.”
You can help the operator to give you—and every
other telephone user—better service by observing
this pimple rule: "Always ring off,”
