Your Telephone Manager
I
EVER NOTICED how often you hear the phrase—“It’s
as near as your phone!” Just an example of how we taka
the convenience and comfort of our telephones for granted.
It’s so easy to pick up your phone .. . for almost any
thing you want or need without ever taking a step from
the house. Comforting, too, to know that you’re never
really alone when your phone’s nearby. It makes modern
living mighty convenient and pleasant all the way around
•—just telephone!

SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED. Not long ago a
woman came into our business office with a swatch of
material in her hand. She held it against the new color
phones, then selected the one she liked best. Some ladies
like phones that blend with their color schemes and others
prefer a contrast. It’s fun to pick out just the right color,
because there are nine lovely shades to choose from. Why
not drop into our office and see for yourself, and treat
yourself to extension phones to suit your taste?

FEBRUARY was once described as “the greyest month
of the year.” Sometimes the lingering cold winter days
seem depressing, and we feel that spring will never come.
Well, here’s a suggestion
for spreading a little good
cheer. Just pick up your
phone and make a Long
Distance call to that very
special person. Just the
sound of your voice can
brighten their day, and the
cost is small for the happi
ness you give. Remember—
it’s always cheaper to call
Station-to-Station—that’s when you’ll talk to anyone who
answers at the number you’re calling. You save, too, by
calling after six P.M. or anytime on Sundays. Why not
make someone’s grey day “rosy” by Long Distance todayl
