Six Reasons • for a “busy” line f*T/,e liM ,a busy” An operator does not "listen in” to learn that a line ia busy but instead finds out by means of a mechanical test. The telephone called is not necessarily in use when the line tests “busy”. It will do so in any of the following cases: 1. Some one may be using * the telephone called. a. If the number called is on a party line, the other person on the line may be using his telephone. 3. You may have called the wrong number and that line is “busy”. 4. Some one else may be trying at that mo ment to get the same line you are calling. 5. The receiver of the tele phone called may be off the hook or held up by something accident ally placed under it. 6. Temporary disarrange ment of mechanism at the central office may, on rare occasions, cause a line to signal “busy” when the operator tests it. Naturally an operator regrets when a line tests busy because it disappoints the subscriber and probably makes it necessary for him to place the call again. ••Bell system” Northwestern Bell Telephone Company „ r,Uv.

Utility Every Day in the Month Twelve Months in the Year More motorists every day come to the conclusion that for year ’round utility there i3 no more practical or convenient car than a Ford. The Fordor Sedan is roomy, comfortable, and attractive in appearance—inside and out. In city traffic it handles and parka so easily that thousands drive it who could readily afford costlier cars. On country roads it comes through where heavier cars frequently cannot. Such qualities as these have brought the Ford its well-deserved reputation as the “Universal Car.” Runabout - 9260 Tudor Sedan 9580 Touring Car- 290 Fordor Sedan 660 Coupe - - S20 All price* f.o.b.
