Subscribers who will be away from home any day this week please make arraggements with the Douglas operator for the installers to have access to their houses to change telephones.

To dial, place your finger in the hole over the first digit of the number, pull dial to right until the stop is reached, remove finger and allow dial to return by itself. Repeat this operation with the remaining digits in the number. Do not force the dial to return to normal,, allow it to rotate back under its own power. If the called line is busy, busy tone will be heard. Hang up and try again later. When making more than one call hang up the hand- set between calls to release the equipment. To call a subscriber on the same party line, use the directory number. If the first three digits in his number are the same as the first three in your num- ber he is on the same line. Dial his number as above, hang up until his telephone has had time to ring, then remove your handset to carry on the conversation. To reach Juneau operator, dial “O”. Juneau sub- scribers calling Douglas, please use prefix Douglas and then give proper number. 4 Juneau - Douglas Telephone Company New numbers assigned to subscribers will be ad- vertised daily in The Daily Alaska Empire.
