HOW TO USE TEL E PHON E The most important thing to remember in using the telephone is to talk straight into the instrument with the lips not more than an inch away. Every added inch of distance is said to be equivalent to len~thening the line of communication 120 miles in long distance service. Loud speaking does not count so much as the right positionthe person who speaks slowly and distinctly is heard better than the person who shouts. Telephone experts say that straight talking into the receiver will add 25 per cent to the value of 'the service. HOME BUILDERS Here's Your Ideal Site!
