These young men and women are going into the homes and business houses of the city to give exact instructions as to the use of the dial system because the success of the new system will depend on the correct usage of the phone by the many people who are telephone users. H.H. Landrum, manager of the Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company, has announced that the work is proceeding rapidly and with much success. Because a great number of people in Corinth have used the dial system at some time before, the work of these people has been simplified. Mr. Landrum added however, that there will be several new features to this dial system, making it necessary for the instruction.
