They divide their territories into "Key Towns" from which dif- ferent groups of customers can be called conveniently and econ- omically. We assist in this by compiling Sequence Lists of calls and giv- ing each call a Code Number. The salesman then just tells the Long Distance operator: "I want numbers 2, 6 and 9 on my Se- quencc List".
