Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:

 

Helping to speed your telephone call. Telephone man Byron Jensen tests the intricate equipment that gets your number quickly and accurately. PHOTOGRAPHS BY ANSEL ADAMS

 

He keeps an electric brain thinking clearly

You benefit from skills like his whenever you use the telephone

Instructing Boy Scouts.

Byron, a troop chairman, shows

scouts how to orient themselves

with a map and compass in the

beautiful Wasatch Range near

Provo, Utah.

 

Every time you make a call over a

dial telephone. you start an electric

brain "thinking" in one of our offices.

 

First, it tells you when to start

dialing by means of a tone. Selects

your number automatically from

many thousands or millions. Then

rings your party or tells you the line

is busy.

 

Such equipment is indeed remarkable.

But with all its electronic

magic, it still needs the help of

people. Day and night, there is con-

tenuous checking and maintenance

by telephone office craftsmen like

Byron Jensen.

 

“A big part of the job,” he says,

“is to keep trouble off the lines. For

every one of those calls is important

to someone. And some can be very

important.

 

"Not only personal calls, but fire

alarms, burglar alarms, radio pro-

grams and even newspaper pictures

go through this same equipment.”

 

Each Sunday Byron teaches a

class for boys. Many of his evenings

and week ends are dovoted to Boy

Scout work.

 

For a person who enjoys helping

Others, he finds his telephone work

particularly satisfying.

 

"Whenever I watch those dial

switches work," he says, "I get the

feeling I’m at the nerve center of

the community.”

Working together to bring people together
