Citizens, Officials Praise Public Phones on City Property

The City is New York.

Just a few months ago, the first outdoor telephone was installed on city property. By the end of this year the citizens of New York will be able to telephone from more than 700 convenient booths, located at key points in Manhattan.

This new program was designed to bring to New Yorkers the safety, convenience and service of round-the-clock telephone facilities.

To their elected officials, public telephones mean a welcome and substantial addition to the municipal revenue.

Perhaps your community can benefit from the same kind of custom-designed public telephone program. For more information, call your local Bell Telephone manager. He'll be happy to send a representative to outline an outdoor telephone plan to suit your needs.
