"Information"
What every telephone user knows but often
forgets is that effective service is possible only
when calls are made by number, folloiving
consultations of the directory.
No actor contributing so greatly to speed and
accuracy should be ignored, particularly in
these war times when the service requirements
of private business are most e-xacting and the
telephone operating force is coping with a
demand from Government sources that is tre
mendous in volume and diversity.
And when the assistance of Information Oper
ators is required, it is urged that complete and
definite advice be given them as to the spelling
of names, initials and addresses.
Strangely, nearly half the requests for infor
mation made of them might be eliminated were
the directory consulted. Promptness in han
dling the remainder is guaranteed when the
operators are unhandicapped by indefiniteness
and impatience on the part of persons calling.
