Hutchins, Mgr @ People often ask me what are telephone area codes. Well, here’s the answer. The country is divided into telephone areas— each has a different number calledan “AREA CODE”. This code is a vital part of your telephone number—it tells what part of the country you live in. You don’t have to use an area code if you’re calling a telephone number located in the same code area as yours. But when you dial another area, it’s necessary to dial that area code—then the rest of the number. Our operators too must dial area codes. If you place a call with the operator, giving her the area code first will help in putting your call through faster. TOeeeeoeHSeSeeeeeeeSeeeeeeeeeeoeeees WHATS y DOING why?

Here in the Grass Valley Nevada City area, forexample the Area Code is 916 £22 2: 9% Imagine spending 8,760 hours on the phone. It might seem impossible (to anyone but a teenager). Yet a survey shows that’s how many hours the average man in his lifetime spends telephoning. This in itself is a good case for having extension phones wherever you need them to save steps. So if you want to make your telephone hours more enjoyable, find out about extension phones—in colors and different styles— for your home or office. Call your business office or ask your telephone service man. * Another question I’ve been asked is why do so many men who work for the phone company wear glasses? Fact is, they may have perfect vision, and we want to keep it just that way. The glasses telephone men wear on the job are individually fitted safety glasses. They look like ordinary ones, but they’re specially made so they won’t shatter. Protective glasses * x *ee may not seem like a very dramatic safety feature. But they can be every bit as important as a lineman’s safety belt to the men who bring you telephone service.
