Where to, please?

Scarcely a day passes—sometimes scarcely an hour in the day—that you do not go visiting by telephone. It is truly the magic carpet that transports you, quickly and easily, to places you would like to be and people you would like to see.

Who can estimate the value of the telephone in the daily lives of millions of men and women...in time and money saved, in increased efficiency, in security and priceless help in time of need!

Contact, communication, swift interchange of ideas—these benefits the modern world offers you. The telephone is one of the chief instruments by which you can seize them. With it at your elbow you are ready for what may come—for opportunity, for emergency, for the brief word that may open a fresh chapter in your life.

Within the next twenty-four hours, sixty million telephone calls will be made over Bell System wires—each a separate, individual transaction, complete in itself. Yet your own calls will go through as quickly and efficiently as if the entire system had been built especially for you.
