Bell System Three Hundred Forty-Seven Telephone Calls Every Second! I N THE BELL SYSTEM on an average every time the clock ticks, day and night, three hundred forty-seven new telephone calls are being made. THE REQUIREMENTS for service for use in the all- important work of National Preparedness are many and urgent. The need to avoid waste is pressing, and in the interests of National Efficiency the lines must be kept as free as possible to handle tl$ abnormal amount of "traffic" used in the many war-time activities. JUST ONE MINUTE SAVED on each telephone call made in the Bell System every "day means a saving of fifty-seven years of productive time each day! You can save time on every call you make By looking in the book to make sure you call the right number and thus avoid the delays in "wrong number" calling; '> By talking clearly and distinctly, directly into the telephone, so that repetition of parts of the con­ versation is not necessary; By ai^wering all telephone calls promptly with your name or the name of your company, so that time Is not wasted in uncertain inquiries and introduc­ tions. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY a--ami Do yon get clean milk? If you ever milked a cow, or saw it. done, you know that it isn't al­ ways a very clean job. Some dairy men don't keep cows very clean; and some are not careful about the milk. The Calf-Way Milker is a milking machine which gets the milk, clean; the milk goes from the cow into the receiving can with­ out being exposed to the air, or any dirt from the stable or the animal. Ask your milkman if he uses a Calf-Way Milker. If he does, you're getting clean milk. If he doesn't, tell him to see us about it. Hay&s & Justen WEST MCHENRY. ILL.
