Then dial the number. For example, to call COney Island 6-9970:

Place your finger in the opening for the letter "C," then turn the dial until your finger firmly strikes the finger stop.

Take your finger out and let the dial return freely until it stops.

In the same fashion, dial the letter "O," followed by the five numerals 6 9970.

To dial a number with a party line letter, dial the letter also. For example, CO 6 9970 J.

When connected with another telephone, do not turn the dial. If you do the connection may be broken.

Between calls replace the receiver for a few se pick it up and wait for the dial tone before making the next call.

If you make an error when dialing, or your finger slips, hang up for a moment, lift the receiver and wait for the dial tone, then dial the complete number again. On each pull of the dial be sure your finger firmly strikes the finger stop. Be care- ful to distinguish between the letter "O" and the zero.

HOW YOUR METROPOLITAN SERVICE

METROPOLITAN SERVICE AREA

The Metropolitan Service Area co nprises New York City, southern Westchester and most . f Nassau County. This area is divided into zones as show on the map below, and charges for calls made within thi area are based on the zoning.

Customers sometimes ask us u hy their calls within the Metropolitan Service Area are not itemized on their bills. When the Metropolitan Service Area was introduced in 1950, message unit billing was a necessary part of the

plan. This method of billing eliminated costly clerical and billing operations on :, ilions of low-cost telephone calls. The economies which resulted from this billing method have helped us to keep down the level of telephone charges and permitted a reduction in rates of from 5 to 20 cents on calls between many Metropolitan Service Area points. That's how we were able to keep the price of your telephone service low in comparison with almost every- thing else you buy.

METROPOLITAN

WESTCHESTER

NNOS

ith- Completed calls between points in the Metropolitan Service Are are billed for the initial period at th ate of 1 to 6 message units per :all

Your monthly local service, charge includes an allowance tf mes- sage units (75 for an individu 1 tele- phone and 60 for a 2-party res dence telephone) for outgoing call , Any message units in addition to th : 1 um- ber allowed appear as a sing e tem on your bill and are charge In a downward sliding scale, starting t5€ each

No charge is made for service calls to the telephone company isted in this directory or for calls i ot com- pleted because of a "line ous /," a "don't answer" condition or for any other reason. If you get a'wrong um- ber, dial Operator and repor the matter to her, giving the nanie c the central office you reached. I yo i get a "busy" or "don't answer," tri the call again in a few minutes.
