40,911 Names
In New Directory
A new book that is certain to
be a publishing success was being
circulated widely in Exeter this
week.
It's the 1952 telephone direc
tory, fresh off the presses and
bound in a buff cover, which
distinguishes it from last, year’s
green-colored edition.
There are 4 0,911 new' and
changed listings included in the
new directory, according to C.
B. Symond s, Bell Telephone
manager here. Owing to this, Mr.
Symonds urged subscribers tu
check any personal lists of tele
phone numbers against the num
bers listed in the new book and
to make any necessary altera
tions.
“Looking up the desired num
ber before calling,” he said,
“helps to avoid the possibility of
getting wrong numbers and
saves time for both the calling
and called parties. ‘Information’
should be called only when the
number you are seeking is not
listed in the directory.”
Other suggestion to help sub
scribers obtain the 'best possible
service from their telephones are
included in the directory.In ad
dition there is a handy list of
telephone numbers and a list of
typical long distance rates.
Besides Exeter, the directory
includes listings for subscribers
in London, St. Thomas, Glencoe,
Parkhill, Strathroy, Dutton, Rod
ney, West Lome and several
other nearby communities.
Indicative of the continuing
growth of this area is the fact
that *91,811 copies of the new
directory were printed to supply
subscribers this year, compared
with 87,636 copies of the 1951
directory.
The local book is one of 50
the Bell Company will publish
this year. The largest is the
Montreal directory, with 1,548
pages, while the 48-page Mani-
waki book is the smallest.
In all, the company will have
more than 2,500,000 directories
printed to supply subscribers
throughout its Ontario-Quebec
territory.
