Telephone operators know the value of co-operation.

They help each other in handling calls and this team work is reflected in your service. When you co-operate with them they respond in kind and experience a joy in serving you.

They have lunch rooms where proper food, prepared by experienced cooks, is daintily served at less than actual cost.

The operating rooms are well lighted, heated and ventilated and every feature of sanitation is thoroughly supervised. Their health and happiness is safeguarded and they are surrounded with every protection that the most exacting and solicitious mother could devise. Telephone operators are frequently called upon to act quickly in emergencies when courage and presence of mind are required. Always the operator has stood out a hero on occasions of this kind.
