THANK YOU
"Thank You," the courteous
phrase that has been the opera-
tor’s response for the last few
years, now will be augmented
by other answers that will
serve to make contact between
the operator and subscriber
more personal and natural, ac-
cording to an announcement
made today by R. C. Sizemore,
District Manager of the South-
western Bell Telephone
Company,
"All right, sir." "All right.
Ma’am.” Yes sir" and “Yes
Ma’sn” are among the new
phrases that will be used by
the operators here in the fu-
i ture.

i "Thank You” will retain its
popularity, said Mr. Sizemore,
; "»8 it is quite the natural thing |
|to say in most cases, but it no
longer will he the stereotyped
answer to all subscribers.”
Mr. Sizemore said that the |
new latitude in phraseology
merely is an effort to give
patrons. a more personal
service.
