Before you blame your telephone Engineers designed the mouthpiece of your telephone to give best results at one-quarter of an inch from the lips. When your lips are farther away than this, your voice is transmitted less strongly . . . less clearly. Failure to remember these simple facts accounts for the great majority of “trouble” reports. Help avoid needless service check-ups, and at the same time let those you talk to hear you without strain. Just remember: Talk clearly, normally, directly into the telephone, with your lips just one-quarter of an inch from the mouthpiece. J. F. ROLFE, Manager-
