Give your teenager
a private phone line. And
you can pocket the savings!
Peace on earth. It's the hardest thing on earth to find if your
teenager loves to talk on the phone. Because you’re always waiting
to make calls. Or worrying about missing them.
That's why you should give your teenager a gift that will make
your whole family happy. A private phone line, with a separate
number, from Southwestern Bell Telephone.
With a private phone line, your teenager can talk to his or her
heart’s content. And you'll be content because your phone line will
never be tied up.
The price is small for something as precious as peace on earth.
Especially now, since you can get a discount on the installation charges.
So call today and order an additional line. And create some
peace on earth.
