Slow Answers Impair Service Telephone users here make thousands of tele phone calls every day: On more than one per ccnt of these calls, the person called does not answer tor a minute or more after the bell rings. True a minute isn't long, but telephone' service is a matter of SECONDS. We do our part in seconds. Delayed answers by subscribers on so many of the daily calls necessarily slows down the service pnd hampers the operators in their efforts to improve the service. Often the Operator is blamed by the call ing party when you are slow to answer. Answering promptly when the telephone bell rings will assist greatly in maintaining good telephony service.
