The Telephone Company Asks Yonr Help r IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE but nevertheless a fact that here every day hundreds of people forget to hang up their triephoine receivers when they finish talking. Every time you do this yoa put your telephone out or order until you discover tht nis^e and hang up the receiver youraekf or until tha Telephone Company can send a repairoMn out to 'hang it up for yau. When your receiver ia off the hook no one can call you fjl it is impossible for your telephone to ring. U you are on a party line and leave yofur raeeiter off it cuta out all the othera on the line with yoa. Calling telephone mipibers from memory is another common csuse of trouble ^d dalayad service. The best practice is to look in the tel^hon* directory before m^- ing a call be certain the corraet number. Do this and you will save much time.«ttd annoytoee. Good telephone service dependa aa much on the osfra of the service aa on the Telephon* Company. Telephone - equipment ia the best that aeienee can develop, but ser vice is seriously handic^lpped when so many people forget to hang up their receivers and cootinae to make mistakes by calling mimber* from memory.
