unusually anxious to show her
many of the features including
the spot where Patrick Henry
spoke the famou- words: “Give
me liberty or give me death.
When she was leaving the building,
she asked the guide about her
1 fees. To her surprise and some
embarrassment, she discovered
that her guide was the Governor

“Telephoning
sure has changed”
f
\**I remember well the first
time I used Long Distance—
called back home from nearly
200 miles away. I waited
half an hour to get through
and then it was mighty hard
to hear.”
Grandpa is right. Telephoning
was like that when he was young
•-but it's altogether different now.
You can reach folks thousands of
miles away in just a minute or
two—and hear them almost as
clearly as though they were right
with you. Local service, too, is
faster, more accurate, more de
pendable, than ever before.

We are working constantly to
make service better and better—
more pleasing to you m every way.
