reminder to anyone planning to make oversea calls during the busy holiday periods of december 2426 and december 31 to january 2 advance reservations for such calls will be taken starting monday november 28 from 900 am to reserve a call just ask your long- distance operator to connect you with the overseas operator foe the country that you wish to call the overseas operator can then ar range all the details of the call with you if at all possible its a good idea to make the calls before or after two peak calling periods that way no reservations are necessary and your call should go through quickly and easily telephone operators are not permitted to report at this building at any hour of day or night in bicycle costume believe it or not thats a quotation from a telephone company bulletin dated 1895 and that same year a womens fashion magazine said let womens business attire be black brown or grey serge black is preferred on account of the unwritten law governing the style of dress bv many selfsupporting women how the styles have changed in almost threequarters of a century and personally 1 think our telephone girls today look pretty attractive in their bright gay colors but operators clothes arent the only things that have changed around the tele phone company during the last 71 years there is no shout ing now when talking long distance its just like speaking to someone across a desk its possible to dial crosscontin ent cals in seconds for a fraction of the cost of 71 years ago in fact our operators today preside over boards keyed o a communications network unimagined 71 years ago all those years of research and development havejnade your telephone the most modern troublefree reasonlbtyprieed phone in the whole world cxgty s qmrth cenotaph ceremony
