And they get service. Today, op almost every long distance call, the distant number is secured while you hold "the line. Only a few years ago, usually the operator said, ‘ I’ll call you back,” and you hung up the receiver to await the connection with your party. The statistics: In 1925 the average time in connecting a call, 7.5 minutes. In 193d, only l.Sjmiriutes. And during this period long distance rates were voluntarily reduced. Consider what this means to you. At high speed and low cost you can settle business problems in other cities, buy, sell, collect, without leaving your desk. And, too, you can pay social calls with friends and relatives and enjoy a pleasant voice-visit with them from your easy chair. ■ For information about the service, just ask the long distance operator about the call you’d like to make to any one, anytime, anywhere.
