It’s time your family
stopped being just"Smith Harold”
in the telephone directory.
The new edition of your telephone directory is going to
press soon.
If you have only a single listing, a lot of people are
going to have trouble looking up other members of
your family.
Certainly, your wife deserves her own listing.
And giving a teen-ager a place in the directory is a
nice way of saying “You’re growing up.”
To add or change a listing just call our business
office. They can tell you how little extra an additional
listing will cost.
It s as easy as picking up the phone.
