Good Telephone Service
The Manager of your Telephone Exchange is responsible
for a good business relationship between you and the
Telephone Company.
He is responsible to you for the proper billing for your ser-
vice. In spite of the many safeguards used throughout the
telephone billing system, errors and misunderstandings
sometimes occur, but when they do, the Manager wants to
know about them and to correct them. You never will find
him arbitrary.
In case of error, take your bill to the manager. If he is absent,
there are in his department trained men and women who
will receive you courteously and will adjust any misunder-
standing.
Cooperation on your part will help the telephone people
render efficient service. Bills paid promptly are dealt with
easily and opportunity for error is greatly lessened.
The Telephone Manager and his representatives are anxious
to maintain a good, clear-cut business relationship with
all subscribers.

You know from experience that if you plan to save the balance
that is left after you have paid for your necessities and pleasures
there often isn't any balance left to save.
A dollar opens a savings account. Set aside an amount of money,
a certain per cent of your income to be saved each month—and
then save it, and live on what is left.
Firmly entrenched behind a growing bank balance, what finan-
cial obligation, what unlooked-for necessity can cause you
anxiety? But this immunity from worry can not be attained by
theorizing about it. It must be lived and practiced.
