The transmitter of the telephone is the result of years of study and experimentation by telephone engineers. It is of delicate adjustment and its fullest effectiveness can only be obtained through proper use. The lips should not be more than an inch from the transmitter, and the voice should be clear, not loud. Speak directly and distinctly into the mouthpiece. This will mean your satisfac- tion and that of the person with whom you are talking. ) The Pacific Telephone And Telegraph Company We wish to tender you, our Friends and Patrons a Very Merry Christmas Holiday Cash Specials: Blue Enamel Perfection Oil Heaters, | Cole’s Hot Blast Heaters......
