9,000 CALLS A MINUTE
Have you ever thought, as you picked up the phone
how many other people were doing the same thing that
very minute7 . .
Well, believe me, you’re not alone —you ve got <ots
of company. Texas people used their telephones 9,000 times
a minute last y$r.
That’s just for local calls. I.ong distance lines were
busy, too, as Texans called out-of-town 98 million times in
1956.
This was a record number of ftth local and long dis-
tance calls, but it looks now as though 1957 will be an even
busier telephone year. ,
What’s behind the steady increase in the number ot
telephone calls? For one thing, thousands of new telephones
are added each year, but there’s more to it than that.
Nowadays, people seem to count on their telephone to
do more errands for them, to help them keep up with the
faster pace of living and doing business.
Personally, 1 think it makes a lot of sense . You can do
just about everything faster and easier with the telephone.
LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEKENDS
If you're like most people, you look ahead to weekends.
That’s when family and friends get together to relax
and have fun.
Unfortunately, sometimes all the family can t be on
hand, or perhaps you haven’t heard from some old friends
for too long a time.
There’s no point in letting this damnen your weekend
fun Just reach for the telephone and call them long distance.
They’ll be glad you called . . . and so will you.
Rates are lower all day Sunday, and after 6 p. m.
weekdays.
And remember to call by number — it’s twice as fast.
CONVENIENCE IS HERE TO STAY
All around the house, every day, we see convenience
and more convenience.
Dad has his easy chair conveniently located next to
his favorite reading table. Mother has a novel or her sewing
basket near her. And the youngsters like to have a radio or
record player in their room.
Maybe this is the time to take another look ai your
(elephone service lo make it more convenient for you and
your family.
Why not have telephones where you want them, whenj
you need them? We’ll install additional phones wherever!
they serve your family best — in kitchen, bedroom, or any
room in the house.
The cos* is low, only $1.00 a month and a small one-
time installation charge. Just call the telephone business
cffice. ,
