YEAR END CALLING
Anyone seeing the amount of parcels, letters and cards
piled up in Post Offices this time of year can easily under-
stand why the Post Office Department so strongly urges
people to "mail early for Christmas."
The Bell has a similar problem at Christmas, but no
graphic way to show it. From seeing a Long Distance cable,
it's impossible to tell that all the circuits in it are being
used and that some customers are waiting to get their calls
through. Yet, at Christmas, this can unfortunately happen.
The reason is not hard to understand. Long Distance
Lines are fully adequate for any normal day, when, in fact,
hundreds of thousands of calls (mostly of a business nature)
are carried. But, at Christmas, a FAMILY pattern of calling
emerges all at once, with the result that a huge number of
calls are made between towns that call one another only
infrequently throughout the rest of the year. Since Long
Distance lines are engineered to carry the regular flow of
calls, rather than that for a single day in the year, they are
overtaxed, and the congestion leads to delays. Constructing
additional lines would be unjustifiably expensive, since they
would remain idle from one Christmas to the next.
One way to avoid delays is to make a Year End call dur-
ing the week BETWEEN Christmas and New Year's — an
excellent way to combine Christmas love and New Year
hopes for those close to us. Because Year End calls are
spread over a longer period, they do not involve the delays
that can occur on Christmas itself. And because the spirit
of Christmas is still with us, but the rush is over, we have
more time to relax and reflect, and grasp again the full
personality of those we love.
CHRISTMAS SUGGESTION
Even if you don't happen to have an extension telephone
now, I'll bet you'll readily admit that one would certainly be
handy. Maybe you've even thought about it wistfully?????
Well now, suppose that this Christmas you find a specially -
wrapped extension under your tree. Would you make good
use of it? You bet your life you would! Sure it would spoil
you, but what a practical way to be spoiled! Now how about
that special someone? Would their reaction be the same as
yours? I mean would they really, honest-to-goodnessly
appreciate your thoughtfulness, and would they remember
you every time YOUR extension saved them steps and
trouble? Get what I'm getting at? Why not call our Busi-
ness Office today and talk it over with us?
