The Emergency Value of the Telephone


By permission we reprint the following from a' letter recently received from one of our telephone subscribers :


" We are unfortunate enough at present to have our little boy down with scarlet fever, and, as a result, my wife is completely shut off from all communication with her friends and shopkeepers, etc., except for her telephone.


" Without the telephone my wife would certainly be at her wit's end in maintaining the absolutely necessary communica- tion with the outside world.


" With a telephone not only is she able to receive sym- pathy and encouragement from our friends, but she is able to obtain service from all the shopkeepers.


" This may sound commonplace, yet it is a fact that it is the telephone which has made bearable the trying conditions which come with scarlet fever.


" Without a telephone, conditions would have resembled largely General Sherman's description of war."

TELEPHONE · INFORMATION


TELEPHONE . INFORMATION


LASSES OF TELEPHONE CALLS There are three broad classes of telephone calls:


1) Local.


2) Suburban.


(3) Long Distance.


The local call is one made to a person inalde the "local area." defined in the contract covering the installation of the telephone om which the call is made.


"The suburban call is one reaching beyond the local area, but to we nearby nelgbboring territory-say from Manhattan to White ains, New York, or vice versa.


The long distance call is one to a distant point-say to Albany Philadelphia. It passes over the special long distance wires of American Telepbone & Telegraph Company, with which we con-


INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE TELEPHONE


LOCAL CALLS should be made by nntuber, and telephone num- " should be obtained from the Telephone Directory. An attempt remember a telephone number often results in e wrong number rection. Telephone numbers found on letterhenda and cards nye Cten erroneous, and should be verified by reference to the current que of the telephone book.


SUBURBAN CALLS should elso be made by number, the tele- ne numbers being obtained from the General Suburban Directory. WHEN CALLING a telephone number, give each figure'sepa- ately. For example-Cortlandt 12579 shonid be given as Cortlandt. two, five, seven, nine,


LOCAL OR SUBURBAN CONNECTIONS .- When e local or pburban connection is desired, remain with the telephone receiver the ear until the party called for hes enswered or until the barator reports. The report "Busy" indicates that the desired heoriber's line in connected with some other line; this report will it be given unnecessarily.


NOTE-For Instructions governing "Long Distance" connections, Long Distance Rates.


TELEPHONE COURTESY .- There are three parties to a tele- one call-yourself, the Telephone Company, and the person with bom you talk. It is not sufficient that one or two of the three do ett. work properly ; the co-operation of all is necessary.


In telephone operating tbe buman element must be considered. "be pubile is human. Telephone operators are human. The hastily oken word and Its infection convey whatever Impression each gets the other. Under sncb conditions, courtesy, both on the part of ue operating force and the public, la like oll to machinery-neces- Ary to prevent friction.


Speak directly into the transmitter, distinctly, and in an ordinary Tersational tone, with the lips close to the monthplece.


Speak slowly. Half the art of good telephoning lles in dellberate It gives clearness and emphasis.


Answer your telephone promptly. Delay may compel the Com- "s operator to report "Don't answer" to the person calling, and may thus miss Important information.


Time can be sared if you identify yourself when answering tha bone. If answering the telephone for your Company, asy nk & Co.," or If you desire to be known personally, "Blank & . Mr. Jones talking." Or again, If it is your individual line, wer with: "This is Mr. Jones talking."


The report "busy" is given wben the telephone number you bavs called. is In use. The Company has every Interest in making the con- Nection, for it must do so to earn the message charge. If the report of "busy" is given frequently in your communications with any particular firm, advise the Company. Investigation of the telephone conditions of the concern In question will be made, and If it Is needed, additional telephone equipment will be suggested. Neither you nor the concern in question will be under any obligation Jo asking for such an Investigation. It is done by us with a view to Kaproving telephone conditions.


Finally, wben yon telephone, devote yourself to telephoning. Aby attempt to carry on other tasks at the same time causes you to move away from the transmitter, and the person with whom you ire talking will hear indistinctly, and may misunderstand.

Alany call numbers are changed and new numbers listed in every issue of the Directory. It is in the interest of subscribers, as well as of the Telephone Company, that all old directories be called in, asi the use of obsolete telepbone books reenlts in wrong number calls, which are an annoyance both to snbecribers and to the Company.


For subscribers in New Jersey, Suburban Long Island, Wiet- chester, Rockland and Putnam Counties, New York, Greenwich, Con- nectient, and adjacent towns, consnit the Suburban Directory.


The Company assumes no Hability for damages arising from errors or omissions in the making up or printing of the Direoliry, nor can it guarantee the permanenoy of call numbers assigned on to be assigned. Bubacribers are, therefore, advised not to print tele- phone numbers on stationery, etc., but to use the phrase "Tele- phone Connection."
