THE OLD WAY
When you ask for an out-of-town number your
operator, often with die • assistance of other
operators along the way, finds^a free line to
the place you’re calling. There the distant oper
ator rings the telephone.
‘ The operator just dials the number you’re calling.
Electronically-controlled switches go into action in
stantly, search out,the fastest, most direct route and
ring the telephone in less time than it takes to read
this explanation. It's almost like magic!
SAVE TIME... CALL BY NUMBER
With “operator distance dialing”, it’s more important than
ever to keep a list of out-of-town numbers you’re likely to
call. If you can give the operator the number you want,
she won’t have to call Information in the distant city. Your
call will go through in about half the time.
