M. Campbell your telephone manager Strange how bad weather and long shopping lists seem to turn up at this time of the year. Here we are half-way through November and already Christmas shopping lists are growing and the unpredictable November weather is beginning to settle into winter's chill. Bad weather, lack of a baby sitter or available car presents no problem when your telephone is handy. It can help you make short work of any shopping list. Many stores are waiting to take your telephone orders. If there is something that you need in a hurry or something that catches your eye in an advertisement, just pick up your phone and place your order. If you don't know the number you can find it in either the white or Yellow Pages of your telephone directory. Of course, shopping is just one way that your telephone helps you. Every day in many ways it can save you time and trouble. Rely on it, use it. Nothing else you use so often does so much—yet costs so little—as your telephone. Days seem to fly by this time of year. I can hardly believe that Christmas is only a few weeks away. With cards to write, gifts to mail to distant relatives and friends, often one of the biggest puzzles is deciding on a gift for the whole family. I've a couple of suggestions that might solve the problem and make shopping easier. An additional directory listing would be a thoughtful "stocking filler" for someone living with you, perhaps an in-law or a grown-up son or daughter. Helps folks to get their telephone number easily, and it's a gift that they'll enjoy all year long. An extension telephone in color is a Christmas morning surprise that will save time and steps all year long. If these ideas help solve a shopping prob- lem, just give our Service Representative a call at the Business Office. Oh yes, we'll Christmas-wrap and deliver the extension telephone of your choice, and arrange to re- turn to connect it later when most convenient. * Just a reminder to anyone planning to make overseas calls during the busy holiday periods of December 17, December 2426, as well as December 31 and January 1.
