M - That's his job—to find trouble on your telephone line before you find it. You see, he's the Test Man in a telephone central office. It's his job to find trouble before it troubles you. Switches and dials tell hint where trouble may hit. Then he sends a repairman to fix it. Very often he can catch it before it hits your service and you never realise that trouble threatened your line. Telephone people spend a lot of time and money to keep your service free from mechanical failures. But some people have telephone troubles of another kind. They waste time and effort—even lose sales and customers — due to inadequate telephone facilities or the wrong equipment to meet the peculiar needs of office, home, store, or factory. Why not let us study your telephone problems and check your facilities? There's no obligation. Reductions in telephone rates — local and long distance — in 1935, '36 and '37 have effected savings to telephone users in Ontario and Quebec of nearly one million dollars y-edrl0;4 M. J.
