.it's a Boy.
Even us you teal this; some
Father somewhere is rushing
this news to relatives: No matter
where they are or what time 0
is -his first impulse is to let
them know!
It's a Boy!
And that is also true of Aunts
(and Uncles) and all the in:
laws. Before Baby 0 half an "
hour old . his arrival is cele-
brated far and wide -and he is
endowed with a dozen names.
It's a Boy!
To Grandparents another chapter
of Family History begins. Their
grandparents may have waited
for days before they had good
news like this, but that was
before the telephone -and Long
Distance -became part of our
everyday existence.
•
Spread Good News by
LONG DISTANCE!
Look in your telephone direc-
tory and you'll find that by
using Low Night Rates (also
applying all day Sunday) and
placing "Anyone" calls you can
talk to nearby towns or Prov-
inces for much less titan you
expected.
