THE WILL TO SERVE
Poles, wires, cable, switchboards -these are the mate-
rial parts of the telephone system:
But then,there are the people who make these things
serve you -over ten thousand of them. They build,
maintain and improve the telephone plant -bring its
service to you. All put warmth and life into your
telephone. To the nation's war effort their work is vital.
Long ago we found that you can't rule courtesy and
friendly interest into being. Telephone courtesy
comes from inside. It is, in essence, the will to serve.
Without the men and worsen workers who have
caught this idea, telephone service as you know it
would not be possible. tCe
