The A-B Toll call: a call which is handled by your local operator, and is the quickest and cheapest method of calling certain places listed on page 9 of your Telephone Directory. The Station-to-Station Tollcall: also handled by the Toll Operator to another telephone number. For places where A-B Toll service is not available, it is the speedy and economical method. The Person-to-person Toll call: also handled by the Toll Operator, and accepted with the under- standing that you wish to speak only with the in- dividual (or department or extension) you spetity.
