INSTRUCTIONS: To call the Exchange, turn the crank briskly, making
four or five revolutions, and when the bell rings in response, take
the Telephone off the hook and place close to your ear. Upon hearing
the OperatorÝs voice, tell him the name or number of the subscriber
with whom you wish to communicate; then hang up the Telephone, and
when your bell again rings replace the Telephone closely to your ear
and proceed with conversation. 


When a subscriber wishes to communicate with you, the Operator will
ring your bell and connect the wires. Answer promptly with a ring;
then place the Telephone to your ear and proceed with conversation. 


When through talking, hang up your Telephone and give one ring as a
signal to disconnect. Do not speak too loud--a moderate, clear tone
is much better. Please notify the Manager of any faults in line or
instrument. Do not fail to give the connecting signal when through
talking. Communication through the Telephone Exchange is for the use
of subscribers and their employees.
