This advertisement is one of a series designed to effect closer cooperation 
between the company and its subscribers. There are three parties to a tele- 
phone call—the person calling, the person called, and the operator who con- 
nects them. The quality of service rendered is determined by the spirit in 
which all three work together, rather than by the individual effort of any one 
or two of these three persons. We shall gladly send complete sets of the 
series to those desiring them. 
. 
RIGHT OR WRONG NUMBER? 
The right way to call a telephone number is to consult the telephone 
directory, get the correct number, and then call for that number, 
clearly and distinctly, when the operator answers your signal. 
If you do not ask for the correct number, it necessarily follows 
you will be connected with a wrong number. 
Have you ever noticed how the’ mind plays queer pranks with numbers 
in transposing figures? It will readily transpose 1468 into 1648, 
or 6426 into 6246. If memory only is relied upon, there is always 
a likelihood of error, and valuable time is lost in correcting such 
errors. 
Therefore the telephone directory should be consulted whenever you 
wish to talk; if an old memorandum containing a number is used, 
there may have been a change since it was written or printed. 
The wrong way creates annoyance to the person who is called by mis- 
take ; the right way saves delay and annoyance in completing your 
message, and creates a high grade of service for you and for 
others. eae. vl 
If you cannot find the person wanted listed in the telephone directory, 
ask for the “Information Operator” at the desired Central office. 
Her records are complete and up to the minute; she knows every 
new subscriber’s number, every change of location as well as of 
number, and will start you right with the desired information.

“The Hermitage” was the Mecca 
for a great many visitors to the North 
Shore, especially those in the Cape 
Ann district. A walk through the 
woods to visit the “hermit”? was one 
of the popular diversions for years. 
“Finjoy life’ is a good motto. 
Every rightly lived life is full of joy. 
But each deep joy must have found-
