TELEPHONE SERVICE TO FIT
YOUR FAMILY’S NEEDS EXACTLY
How to double the convenience
of your telephone service
(with one or more extension telephones)
For a few pennies a day, extension telephones in your
home stop those “through-the-house” dashes to reach a
ringing telephone before the caller hangs up. With
extension telephones, you answer the closest one—and
save steps. There’s more chance for privacy, too, when
you want it. And extension telephones add a modern,
up-to-date note to any home. Make extension tele-
phones your first step toward tailored telephone service
for your family. 4
You may have an extension telephone
installed'’ in the bedroom, kitchen,
living room, workshop—wherever you
decide extension service would be
most convenient and helpful in your
home. To order, or for more informa-
tion, call the telephone business office.
