Constructive ; Criticism and j 1 Bell Service < i Bell Telephone 5 irvice must be, above 11 all else, prompt and accurate. That is the | 7 standard we have set § f But service difficulties DO arise; some of 1 h them plain human errors, others due to con- f " •; I - ditions entirely beyond our controL Our | z aim is to correct these troubles and, if possi- § f( ble, to prevent their recurrence. a' We welcome honest criticism of our serv- g ice and methods, particularly if the report be $ specific and in detaiL We can do nothing j J with such a complaint as: "the service is ] cbad." There should be a report like this: 1 "Thursday, at 2 P. M., number so-and-so f< | called, etc." b Then we can roll up our sleeves and get u right after the trouble — remedy it That means improvement — progress. We won't ™ be satisfied to-morrow with the service we 01 are giving to-day. n The Delaware ■& Atlantic TeL & TeL Co., C. B. Smith, District Manager, « ML Vernon and Pacific Avet., r Atlantic City, N.
