Help Us Improve Your Service Every day hundreds of tele phones are reported out of or der because the receiver has been left off the hook; in most cases we must send a man to correct the trouble. When you finish a telephone conversation be sure and hang the receiver on its hook so that your line will be disconnected and ready for new calls. When the receiver is off the hook your telephone door is closed and locked. Callers are told your line is busy or out of order. Many of these cases are due to carelessness or thoughtless ness, but they have a bad effect upon the general service. You can get full value from your service by cautioning your employes to be careful in this matter. W'e ask your co-operation.
