So that's one thing we have in common. Most of the job of keeping the service up to scratch be- longs to us. But there are some things you can do, and tak- ing proper care of your telephone instrument is one of them. Inside that telephone on your table are a lot of small parts—over two hundred of them. Every time you bang or drop the instrument the adjustment of these parts is made a little less true. Result—a noisy telephone; a cuff on the ear doesn’t improve your hearing. Any telephone is only as good as its cords—the wires which join it with the bell box. If these cords are often twisted and jerked or allowed to get wet, you may expect poor service—or no service at all. Your telephone is as well made as the best brains and hands can make it. It is a friend, and deserves to be treated as such.
