...how Detroit Edison customers
are aiding the War Effort
A short time ago, wc asked your patience in
the matter of Detroit Edison delivery and ser
vice calls, explaining that it might take a little
longer for an Edison serviceman to arrive, and
that deliveries might not be quite so prompt.
We did this in an effort to save cars, tires, man
hours, gasoline... yet still provide reasonably
good service for our rnstomers.
Ton have cooperated generously in this pro
gram, and thanks to your patienee, we can ,
report worthwhile results. By ROUTING cus
tomer calls—that i6, by grouping all the calls
in a certain area so that a man ran handle
more in a single trip —we are saving 1.000
miles of driving per day. Our customers have
not been inconvenienced too greatly: The lat
est figures show tltfct 81 PER CENT of all
customer calls are answered uithin an hour.
Meanwhile, material shortages grow more rris
- Ve are making further studies on how la
achieve even greater savings in rubber, gaso
line, and man-honrs, and still maintain good
service, Ve know that if we are obliged to adopt
anew plan along this line, you will cooperate
with us as whole-heartedly as yon have done
in the past Patience can be patriotic, too.
