The Union is still charging 45 cents for hair-
cuts. Every other shop in town is charging 35
cents. The Union, a student club, is a non-
profit organization and exists solely for the
students. Yet the Union will not meet the town

Keenly aware of the problems of business, large
and small, Bell System commercial men are con-
stantly devising special telephone plans to custom-
fit service to the user's needs.
For example, a plan they worked out for a
coal distributor helped him to contact 50% more
dealers. A manufacturer, using a telephone selling
plan, sold 700 dozen pairs of hosiery through
one Long Distance call. A great meat packer
handles complex sales and distribution problems
efficiently with the aid of planned Long Distance
and private wire services.
Systematic telephone plans are helping many
users to build business - cut costs -handle collec-
tions - unify nationwide organizations -increase
profits. And Bell System men are seeking still
other ways to make the -telephone more useful.
