New way of handling Long Distance
Operator Toll Dialing proves a big help in these busy days of national preparedness
Long Distance lines are really humming these days. There are many more calls than a year ago. More are from the Nation's industries and Armed Forces, hurrying the country's most important job.
A big help in keeping these calls moving is Operator Toll Dialing - a remarkable new telephone development.
You give the Long Distance operator the number in the usual way. She quickly presses several keys and your call goes straight through to the telephone you want in a distant city.
It makes for faster service - especially on calls that formerly had to be relayed through other cities.
With so many more calls on the lines, it's a mighty good thing that Operator Toll Dialing was developed and is now available and in use in so many places. About one-third of Long Distance calls are now being handled in this new way.
It is just one of many ways in which the growth and improvement of telephone service are now proving of extra value to the Nation in these days of preparedness.
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD... More and more telephone users in a growing number of metropolitan areas can now dial Toll calls direct to nearby places the same way they dial Local calls. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
