A Hot Day Causes
Many More Telephone Calls
A very hot day will often
cause as many as one-fourth
more telephone calls. Qo
such days, more people stay
indoors and use the tele
phone.
Rainy days and very cold
days also mean that more
telephone calls will be made.
Snow storms, likewise,add
to the problem of providing
service by tying up trans
portation and causing peo
ple to transact their business
by telephone. And fre
quently sleet storms tear
down poles and wires, shut
ting off service.
Uniformly satisfactory
telephone service is our
constant aim, but occasion
ally conditions arise which
are temporarily beyond all
human control. At such a
time we especially appre
ciate the patience of our
patrons until the situation
can be met.
