There are more than 200 parts to the instrument, some of which may be shaken loose. Do not place wet coats, umbrellas, mops or other damp ar ticles near the telephone or on the cords. Dampness may make the line "noisy” or put the telephone entirely out of order. Do not use attachments which arc claimed to make conversa tion more distinct or to keep the mouth-piece sanitary’. These nearly always injure your service instead of improving it. If at any time your telephone does not seem to work properly, please report it to our "Repair Department” at once, giving accurate details of the trouble. The trouble may not be in the instrument at all but in the wires leading to the switchboard or in the central office mechanism.
