The Age of Advertising: The Voice of the Operator: New York Telephone Company – 1945

New York Telephone, circa 1945: Putting a human face and a human voice in communications. (Hey, it’s better than voicemail.)  

SHE STILL HAS “THE VOICE WITH A SMILE”

     War traffic keeps her busier than ever but she manages to keep calm and pleasant.

     She still has “The Voice With A Smile” even when the lights are thick on the Long Distance switchboard and the circuits are crowded.  Even when she has to ask you to –

     “Please limit your call to 5 minutes.  Others are waiting.”

     That’s to help everybody get better service and you couldn’t ask for a better reason than that.

NEW YORK TELEPHONE COMPANY
