with those friends*and relatives whom you do not visit
as often as you would like, especially those who live in
other cities.
’ More and niore jpeople who are separated by distances
are using “long distance” telephone lervice to keep
friendshipa alive and to maintain family ties. The relief ^
from anxiety and tha pleasura of hearing a friendly,
cheerful voice, gives satisfaction and value which are
almoet priceless.
Yet the cost of a telephone conversation between
friends or relatives who are miles apart is surprisin|^
low. You can get an idea of the low cost of “long dis
tance". from the lists of cities and rates which you will
6nd in the front section of your telephone directory.
If the town you wish to call is not listed in the front
of your telephone directory, just ask your “long dis-.
