HISTORICAL FORT WAYNE


Fort Wayne, oldest historic spot in Indiana, thrills the history lover with the glamour of departed days. The stirring drama of the past stretches through a period of 300 years, and during that time the flags of three great nations-France, England and America-have waved over it.


Old "Kekionga" (Gateway to the Weat), the portage way of the Indians, joining the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes Waterway to the Mississippi River, was early chosen by the Miami Indians for their village. Then came the French, who, realizing its strategic position at the junction of the three rivers, made it an important trading post as early as 1698. The English, pushing their way westward, struggled with the French for control of this profitable trade until finally, in 1760, as a result of the French and Indian War, it passed into their hands.


The savages, resenting the loss of their chosen site, united in the mighty Pontiac con- spiracy and overthrew the English. President Washington, determined to preserve this site as the northwestern outpost of the new Republic, sent three armies in as many years to force the Indiana into subjection. The first two expeditions, under Generals St. Clair and Harmar, were disas- trously defeated by the Indians under their great Chief Little Turtle. It remained for General Anthony Wayne to rout the savages and to build FORT WAYNE (1794).

TELEPHONE COMPANY


LOCAL SERVICE


Call by number only. Always obtain the correct telephone number from the latest directory before making a call. If the person you wish to speak to is not listed in the directory, call "Information", and obtain the number.


The operator will answer by saying, "Number, please?" Give the number plainly and deliberately, giving the prefix first and pausing between the hundreds and tens, as:


South 8760, "South, eight-seven, six-oh"


Main 4514, "Maln, four-five, one-four" Rural 1111, "Rural, one-one, one-one"


Main 1232- J, "Main, one-two, three-two, J"


Listen carefully while the operator repeats the number. If repeated correctly say "Yes"; if incorrectly, Bay "No", and give the call again.


If the called line is busy the operator will so advise or the "busy signal" will be placed on the line. The busy signal is a ticking sound similar to the ticking of a clock and consiste of two ticke or clicks per second.


When the operator connects your line with the line called for, the called party's telephone is rung automatically once every six seconds by an automatic ringing machine and without any attention from the operator. The operator, therefore, will not notify you that she is ringing your party, but Instead you will hear a buzzing sound in your receiver every time the bell of the called party's telephone is rung. This ringing tone will be heard once every six seconds while waiting for your party to answer and indicates that the automatic ringing machines are actually ringing your party.


Don't confuse the ringing tone with the busy signal. The busy signal is a ticking sound similar to the ticking of a clock, consisting of two ticks per second. The ringing signal is a buzzing tone occurring once every six seconds.


times. To recall the operator to make a second connection, move the receiver hook slowly down and up several


Do not hang up the receiver until through with a connection. To do so gives the operator the disconnect signal. Always keep the receiver on the hook when the telephone is not in use; otherwise your line will be out of order.


ANSWER YOUR CALLS PROMPTLY-In answering a call, say for example, "Mr. Smith speaking," or "Jones & Co., Smith speaking." This identifles you and saves time. Never say "Hello". It means nothing, gays nothing and gets nothing except "Hello" in return, and wastes time.


TO CALL A SUBSCRIBER ON YOUR OWN LINE-Say to the operator "Ring 'R' (or whatever the letter suffix may be) on this line." It will be necessary, and the operator is instructed to request subscribers to hang up receiver while the call for the other party is being made.


PARTY LINE SUBSCRIBERS Must necessarily be served on the same circuit with other subscribers of the same class of service located near them, and must make way for such accommodations of others aa is usual in public service of any kind where two or more persons are concerned.


Subscribers must not listen to conversations of others on their own or other party lines nor interfere or annoy other parties. If, when making a call, conversation is heard the receiver should be hung up at once.


Party line subscribers should show the same courtesy to other subscribers on the line as they themselves would like to receive. Complaints of non-observance of party line rules are often mutual, and those who themselves violate these rules in any manner are not in a position to complain of othera.


NEW RURAL AND SUBURBAN NUMBERING SYSTEM


With this issue of the directory all Rural and Suburban numbers have been changed and a simplified numbering system adopted. The new numbering system Is as follows:


All code rings are made up of long rings or long and short rings.


When both long and short rings are used the long rings all come first. The last two figures of a number indicate the ring.


The figures before the last two figures indicate the line number, thus:


Rural 1221, is line 12. ring 2 long and 1 short Suburban 6513, is line 65,ring 1 long and 3 short Suburban 7140, is line 71, ring 4 long and 0 short Rural 611, is line 6, ring 1 long and 1 short Rural 2732, is line 27, ring 3 long and 2 short Rural 111, 1s line 1. ring 1 long and 1 short


When calling numbers pronounce each figure separately, as, Rural 1221, "Rural, one-two, two-one" Suburban 6540, "Suburban. six-five, four-oh"


Call for RURAL or SUBURBAN, according to the prefix of the number desired. When the Rural or Suburban Operator anewere give you number in the usual way.


INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING RURAL TELEPHONES-Remove receiver and listen to see if line is busy. If busy, replace receiver and wait a reasonable length of time before trying again.


To call the operator: PRESS PUSH BUTTON ON LEFT SIDE OF TELEPHONE and ring by turning crank three or four times. When the operator answers, give the number in the usual way.


After completing a conversation, give the operator the disconnect algnal by ringing one short ring WITHOUT PUSHING THE CALLING BUTTON.


To recall the operator on a connection give the usual ring for the operator WITHOUT PUSHING


THE CALLING BUTTON.


Always remember to "ring off" when through talking in order that the operator may get the proper disconnect signal; otherwise the regular ring for the operator will not be received when the calling button is used.


To call a party on your own line, ring the code ring for the narty wanted WITHOUT using the calling button.


Do not take down the receiver when the bell is ringing, as it prevents giving the proper ring.
