A FEW. PAGES OF HELPFUL INFORMATION

A FEW PAGES OF HELPFUL INFORMATION

Telephone Number Service;

Personal Number Lists

In placing a call, it is impor-' tant that you first know the number and then that you dial it or give it to the Operator accurately. Your service will therefore be better if you keep a personal number list. The Business Office (Dial 811.) will send you, on request, « an attractive frre booklet for telephone numbers.

Directory and Information Services

Every subscriber in Brooklyn is given a directory every six months listing Brooklyn subscribers.

Directories are also available for Manhattan, The -Broix, Qintens, Staten Island and suburban points, . To give these books to all Brooklyn subscribers would be an inconvenience to most subscribers and a neerllesst expense to the Company. In cases where they are re- quired, they are furnished on request. Otherwise it is better to get numbers from Information (Dial 411) and keep them on your personal list.

If your directory becomes lopt or mutilated, the Busi- ness Office will replace it. To prevent mistakes, we ask that you return old books when new ones are delivered.

Classified Directory (Red Book)

Every Brooklyn subscriber ip, also given, every six months, a classified directory-"The Red Book"-in which all business and professional telephone numbers are listed under suitable headings. No matter what commodity, or service you want, you can quickly find in the Red Book someone who can supply it.

Additional listings and advertisements in the Red Book may be arranged for by calling the Business Office (Dial 811)

Displaying Telephone Numbers

It will be a convenience to those who may wish to call. you, and will help to'speed service, if you will print your telephone number on stationery and elsewhere just as you do your street address.

Although we cannot guarantee that any number will be peripaueut, we make no changes in numbers unless the needs of the telephone system itself make it essential to do so. When a number is changed, we give as much advance notice as possible .-

Directory Listings

If you have a tele phone you are of course entitled to one free listing. If you have more than one line, you are entitled to one free listing for each line up to three. If you want listings in addition to your free listings they can be obtained at 2. : each per month.
