A FOUR-ALARM"
FOR THE BLUE-GRAY TRUCKS
R. A. Forsyth, Grocery
—Your Business Appreciated—
A KANSAS CITY bridge burst into flames
one morning last spring. It twisted and
writhed under the terrific beat.. .then stout
steel spans splashed into the Kansas River.
"Voice bridges'* went out of service, too.
Far attached to the bridge were taro large
telephone cables, containing wires to 1,700
telephones. It was a four-alarm for the tele-
phone repair crews— the men in the blue-
gray trucks. While flames still soared near
by, the reconstruction work began.
In a fire department rowboat they got a
line across the river. Emergency telephones
were rigged up at strategic locations.
SOUTHWSSIEIN BELL
Then came a driving rain to make the task
even harder. All night they worked against
great odds. By midnight 60 telephones were
working. By breakfast time three-fourths of
the silenced telephones coukl speak. That
afternoon telephone service eras back to
normal.
Meeting—and whipping—emergencies is
a .part of the telephone man’s job.
Your telephone service is backed
r BL by skilled, loyal people whose ex-
aaau perience in past emergencies
— better equips them for the emerg-
. T*T* encies of the future.
