For a man for winter work, contact the National Employment Office or scan the Yellow Pages of your telephone book, BEST POTS IN THE WORLD This is an era of ever -more -elaborate abbreviations. Where a simple "SWAK" (Sealed With A Kiss) used to suffice on the back of an envelope, now they tell me it's "SWAUBK" (for "Great Big" or "Grand British," depend- ing on your upper lip). In the telephone business, we've learned to live with many abbreviations. Examples that are perhaps more familiar to customers are "ANC" (All Number Calling), "DDD" (Direct Distance Dialing), "PBX" (Privs.te Branch Exchange). Recently, we heard a telephone engineer say he was working on "WATS" and "POTS". "WATS" (Wide Area Telephone Service) is designed for companies doing a large volume of Long Distance calling, and was familiar to us. "POTS" we never heard of (at least not in a telephone sense). We questioned hint about "POTS". "That," he said, is "Plain Old Telephone Service." And that's still our most important business as we head into 1964: bringing you the best "POTS" in the world. We've got the skilled me- chanics and the parts needed to make all your equipment repairs. Low rotes, too. Call us. MASSEY-FERGUSON NEW AND USED EQUIPMENT DIONE HARVESTERS CHAS.
