NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 37 
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.

Are You Ready to Talk? 
Mr. Jones wanted to talk with Mr. Thomas and asked his clerk to 
call him by telephone. 
When Mr. Thomas answered, he was told to “wait a minute.” 
A few moments later when Jones got ready to talk, he found 
no one on the line. 
Thinking the operator had cut him off, he 
asked his clerk to put in the call again. 
That happened three times; then Jones got mad and put in the call 
himself. 
Mr. Thomas answered and Mr. Jones said, “What the deuce is the 
matter with your telephone, Charlie? 
I have called you.” 
This. is the fourth time 
To which Mr. Thomas replied, “Oh! it was you that was calling? I 
did answer the telephone three times and was told each time to 
‘wait a minute.’ 
I could not see any reason why I should waste 
my time holding the line for someone else, so I hung up. If 
you yourself had been on the line, ready to talk the first time I 
answered, you would have saved each of us a lot of time and 
bother.” 
Jones was cured. 
When answering the telephone, it is aggravating to be told to “wait a 
minute,” and yet hundreds of people impose in just that way on 
those they have occasion to call. 
It may be easier for the busy man to save time by asking a clerk to 
put in a call, but the other person should receive. due consider- 
ation and not be unnecessarily inconvenienced.

Pneumatic Tire CANNot Be BEA’. 
When asked what in his estimation 
was the perfect tire, N. E. Oliver, 
sales manager of Diamond tires at 
New York City, said: “Now-a-days, 
when we see so many variations, imi- 
tations and likenesses of the pneu- 
matic tire on the market, we some- 
timés stop and think: ‘Is the penu- 
matic tire right in principle? Will we 
always continue to ride along on skill- 
fully built cushions of air, or will 
science evolve some heretofore un- 
heard of combination which will do 
away with the uncertainties of the 
pneumatic tire?’ 
“T can only say in answer to this, 
that almost every innovation in the 
tire world has been tried out in the 
laboratories of The Diamond Rubber 
Company, and has been discarded in 
favor of the pneumatic tire. 
“The main reason for the non-suc- 
cess of the pseudo pneumatic tire is 
that it costs so much in the beginning, 
owing to the great amount of material 
that must go into it, that it cannot de- 
liver mileage at as low a price per 
mile as the pneumatic. And further- 
more, we have never seen a tire in any 
other class that is as resilient as a 
pneumatic tire.” 
It is a great thing in life to learn 
how to forget wisely. 
There is something of woman in 
everything that pleases,
