Sharing Your Telephone
ONE telephone that has to do the work of two
cannot render the most efficient service.
It’s more or less awkward and inconvenient
to answer calls for others and to pass your telephone
to the man across the desk.
When there's a telephone on every man's desk
better and quicker service results.
Your desk telephone renders such an intimate,
personal service that to share it means to destroy
something of its usefulness.

a Long Distance Station
