If you could "x-ray” your telephone, you’d find a
furprismgly complicated instrument. Yet, making
a telephone call i* just about the easiest thing in the
world to do. Proof of the simple convenience of
telephone service is the fact that both local and long
distance telephone traffic are at an all time high.
This naturally means that the complicated mechan-
ical and human operations necessary to provide tele-
phone service are under their heaviest pressure.
Your cooperation and friendliness are helping us
greatly in our efforts to serve this traffic as efficiently
as possible.
