Telephone like ether machines oc

realize that in many cases the line i3
out of order because of the receiver
being off the hook?
During the first three months of this
year more than 30003 receivers were
left of hooks in the larger cities of
our territory In 4000 of these cases
it was necessary to send out trouble
men to notify' the subscribers to replace
the receivers on the hooks
