TO THE PEOPLE of DETROIT
so. 7 A Series of Talks on Service Improvement
“Doing- Your Bit" for Better Service
GOOD telephone service is more* than a
matter of fine buildings, ample equip
ment and skillful telephone operating.
All of these things are. of course, essential.
In recognition of that fact our $10,000,000
service-improvement program was begun and
is being completed with all possible vigor.
Bearing in mind the things we have tried to
convey to you in these talks on Telephone
Service, you will agree that, from a plant and
operating standpoint, we are already doing
everything within our power to give Detroit a
quality of service that will be satisfactory and
pleasing to all concerned.
But after all is said and done, we must admit
that, having made full provision for all these
matters, we are, nevertheless, doomed to fall
short of our common desire unless we receive
your co-operation and assistance.
You Alone Can Insure
Complete Success
This may be accomplished by you in several
ways, but in none so effectively as by your
taking that class of service which answers
your particular telephone needs.
In the failure of thousands of telephone
subscribers in Detroit to do this, lies one of the
Fundamental causes behind the service condi
tions prevailing here in recent years. So seri
ous, in fact, is this situation and it has been
just as serious for several years that present
1 ;;hone need 6,oooadditional lines to
• pr ,perly handle their present number of calls.
Xbw shortage may be attributed to two
sources: (1) business concerns that do not take
a sufficient number of lines so that their
teb phone door may always be open to parties
who wrih to call them; and (2) to those
r< ldcnce telephones on two and four-party
lines which are in use so much of the time for
“out going” calls that they virtually monop
oh?* the line to the exclusion of all
subscribers trying to call the line.
The Entire Service Suffers from
This State of Affairs
You can readily see that such a condition
causes thousands of vexatious “busy” reports.
Now, these “busy” reports (there are more
than 200,000 of them in Detroit every day)
represent an enormous waste of time on the
part of both telephone user and telephone
operator. Moreover, they cause endless con
fusion in the operating room. Subscribers

become impatient because they are repeatedly
told: “The line is busy.” They remain on the
line and insist that the operator keep trying
and finally so confuse her that she makes errors
on other calls. These errors, in turn, irritate
other subscribers. This confusion and irrita
tion, following psychological and natural law's,
is bound to affect the work of the operator.
Imagine yourself subject to the same condi
tions in your work. Do you think it would
impair your efficiency? Is it any wonder that
many telephone calls are not handled correctly
under these conditions? No matter how fine
the plant, there is bound to be trouble.
There Is, However, An
Effective Remedy
It lies in a classification of service which w*ill
enable a subscriber, when he finds his tele
phone needs exceeding the limit for any
particular class of service, to change, at
nominal expense, to another class that will
properly handle his business.
. In other words, to insure speedy and
efficient telephone service, it is necessary that
every telephone subscriber be equipped with
such facilities that he can, invariably, be
reached by telephone w'itfiout delay.
Such a plan, placed in operation with the
subscriber’s co-operation, reduces to a mini
mum the troublesome “busy reports. It
saves your time and our time. It removes the
cause for irritation and multiplication of
operating errors.
Let us repeat that we are constructing in
Detroit as fine and complete a telephone plant
as can be found anvwhere in the country;
and that w*e have in the operating organization
a class of young women intelligent and sincere
in their work as any in the business w’orld.
But to round out our service improvement
program, we must await permission from the
State Railroad Commission to re classify the
service as suggested.
So, all things considered, you may rest
assured that we are definitely and surely
committed to a policy that will give Detroit
that quality of telephone service which will
place her in a class wuth New York, Chicago
and other great American cities. To reach
that goal is the height of our ambition, as it is
also the earnest desire of our subscribers,! and
w*c shall continue to strive not only to attain it,
but also to keep it when attained.
