For the Minute that
Seems Like a Year!
On most of your telephone calls there
may not be much need for split-sec-
ond speed. Why, then, have telephone
people made the service so fast?
Because there may come a time
when an emergency will strike. Then
a minute will seem like eternity. |
To be on the safe side, we aim to
handle every call as if it were marked
“URGENT!” Seconds may be vital,
so we try to give you split-second
service every time.
To do this requires the world’s
finest telephone plant, a highly-trained
personnel and never-ending research. |
Millions have been spent to improve
telephone equipment and methods—
to save a second here and there. Some
day you may find that second priceless!
Try a long distance call tonight
aftez 7 or any time Sunday, when
rates are lowest. See for yourself how
fast your call goes through! The Bell
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania.
