If the service is to be satisfactory, all three must co operate ! You are co-operating when you call by number after, consulting the directory carefully and give the number to the operator slowly, one digit at a time. The operator co-operates by paying prompt and cour teous attention, making the desired connection with accuracy and dispatch. The called person co-operates by answering without delay, promptly identifying himself by firm or individual name, or both. Altogether, each contributes towards a maximum effectiveness of the service by speaking distinctly and being never forgetful of the fact that the other two co-operatora are counting on a thorough appreciation of how each is trying to do his or her share. Philadelphia' 8 daily Bell Telephone traffic is now approximately eight hundred thousand calls every twenty-four hours.
