JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET

"LINE IS BUSY”.
t# ... so he called another shop!
No matter what line of business you are in, how
many customers have you lost this way? Men
are in a rush. They will not wait until your line
is clear. They call some other number.
.... and women, calling the laundry, the butcher
er the grocery, are much the same way. The era
of speed has engulfed us. People WILL NOT
WAIT!
You can remedy the “busy line” condition by in*
Stalling another telephone. The cost is nominal
and the increased service will stimulate your
business.
