OFFICE HOURS
Sundays and Holidays: 9 a.m.
to 10 a.m.; 12 to 1 p.m.; 5 to 6
p.m. Weekdays: 7 a.m. to 10
p.m. Night service for doctors
and emergency calls only.
--------
RULES
On week days service will be
given day and night subject to the
following rules:
A fee of five cents for each ex-
change used will be charged all
non-subscribers. Where the party
does not call at Central, but uses
a subscriber's phone, the fee will be
charged to the subscriber, to be
collected at the end of the month.
Always ring by number and ring
off when through talking, if con-
nected through central.
"THEY DON'T ANSWER," means
we cannot get the party called for.
We will ring your call twice, if they
don't answer then it is reasonable
to presume that they are not in
hearing of their phone or else they
would answer.
A fee of ten cents will be char-
ged for calls between 10 p.m. and
6 a.m. EXCEPT when giving bur-
glar or fire alarms or when calling
for doctors. A ring from one phone
to another on local party lines con-
stitute a call and is subject to the
charge. Do not construe this as
an effort on our part to add to our
revenue, but rather to discourage the
use of the line for general purposes
at a time when they should be used
for emergency calls only. Our equip-
ment for night service is of the best
and if the presidents of the
rural companies will see that no
ringing is done on their respective
lines during that period, there need
be no cause for complaint from the
subsriber of the services rendered.
Telephone rentals are due and
payable on the first of each month,
except those due from rural lines,
which will be due on the first day
of July and January, said fee being
payable by the line and not by the
individual members of such line.
Do not cross one line with an-
other line. It spoils the use of
both lines.
