hit in the severe storm of last week

were these American ladies they ask

Do you leave your work behind when you quit
for the night? Or do you—and your wife—often
answer business calls that are too important
to wait till morning?
This sort of thing happens so often to so many
people they’ve come to realize how important a
home telephone is in helping them to keep
their jobs going.
In fact you may be one of those who say that,
for business reasons alone, your telephone at home
is worth more than it costs!
