YOUNGBLOOD Your Telephone Manager THE TELEPHONE calls you make begin with the dial on YOUR phone. If you don’t start right, they won’t end up right and you’ll probably be disap pointed by getting the wrong number. That’s why it’s important to make sure you have the RIGHT number by looking in the directory or your list of frequently called numbers. Then, listen for the dial tone before you start to dial. And, ALWAYS DIAL CAREFULLY. If you make a mistake—your finger slips or you accidentally touch the receiver hook— hang up and begin again. You’ll SAVE time when you TAKE time to dial properly. YOUR TELEPHONE IS PROBABLY THE BEST PER SONAL ASSISTANT —SEC RETARY—SERVANT- ERRAND RUNNER you ever had! Millions of people think so.
