In the absence of the name, Bell operators can often find parties wanted if. furnished a street address, occupation or other means of identification. Messengers are on duty at railroad stations and other centers, and are frequently able to inter­ cept travelers by description and bring them to a telephone. Toll charges on such messages are no higher than ordinary rates for the service rendered, and in most cases the results cannot be computed on a money basis.
