In Good Service
There are three parties to every tele
phone conversation —the party calling,
the trained operator, and the party who
answers. All three share alike the respon
sibility for quick and accurate telephone
service.
The calling party should give the cor
rect number in a distinct voice, speak
ing directly into the transmitter, and
wait at the telephone until the party an
swers or the operator reports. The called
party should answer promptly.
Patience on the part of the telephone
user and the telephone operator is also es
sential to good service.
