MAKE YOURSELF HEARD
By speaking clearly and not too rapidly; speaking directly into the transmitter with the lips very close to the mouth piece; throwing the voice from the mouth and not smothering it in the throat or chest, by not speaking in too loud a tone.
For short distances the voice should be a shade lower rather than higher, than a well modulated conversational tone. For long distances it should be raised somewhat, but never enough to even approach shouting.
Every telephone user will increase the efficiency of this telephone service by being guided by the above.
Every employee should not only be guided by the above, but should preach the gospel of right telephoning as indicated, whenever opportunity to do so offers itself, without appearing in the least degree as officious or impertinent.
