TO RESIDENTS OF DOUGLAS
•
The Juneau & Douglas Telephone Co. has begun to
make the cut-over to the new dial system in Douglas.
Subscribers .who will be away from home any day
this week please make arrangements with the Douglas
operator for the installers to have access to their
houses to change telephones.
Instructions
Please limit your calls to 5 minutes and do not
make unnecessary calls until the cut-over is completed,
"as this will slow up the installation of the new tele
phones.
To make a call, remove handset and listen for dial
tone, a continuous buzz. If busy tone (interrupted
buzz) or conversation is heard, hang up and try again
later.
To dial, place your finger in the hole over the first
digit of the number, pull dial to right until the stop
is reached, remove finger and allow dial to return by
itself. Repeat this operation with the remaining
digits in the number. Do not force the dial to return
to normal, allow it to rotate back under its own
power. If the called line is busy, busy tone will be
heard. Hang up and try again later.
When making more than one call hang up the hand
set between calls to release the equipment.
To call a subscriber on the same party line, use the
directory number. If the first three digits in his
number are the same as the first three in your num
ber he is on the same line. Dial his number as above,
hang up until his telephone has had time to ring, then
remove your handset to carry on the conversation.
To reach Juneau operator, dial “0”. Juneau sub
scribers calling Douglas, please use prefix Douglas
and then give proper number.

Fd Like
to Know...
You may have heard that
a suit has been filed by
the Antitrust Division in
Washington to break up
Standard of California as
well as six other West
Coast oil companies.
Many people have writ
ten us protesting this
action. Many have asked
pertinent questions. We
believe we should answer
these questions for every
one. We do so this way.
If you have a question,
we urge you to write:
“I’d Like to Know”
225 Bush Street,
San Francisco 20
*
“How much competition is there among major oil companies?"
Harry F. Wood, attorney of Olympia, Washington, writes: “What type of competition
does actually exist among the major oil companies? Price? Service? Research? If it 8
research, we should find one oil company’s brand, of
oil, for example, gives better engine protection
The answer to this question is much the same for the oil industry as for most others. Com
petition is intense in all operations. In oil, operations group under four broad headings. • •
Competition starts with crude. Oil com
panies explore, bid for rights to land where
oil may exist. Then they must produce at
costs low enough to meet market prices.
Competition continues in refining. Again
each company must make the operation pay.
If products are either not good enough or too
expensive, we can’t keep customers.
Competition in research exists indeed.
A company must keep pace or lose out. Cur
rent pace-setter is our new motor oil. With
tests using atomic energy, our scientists
reveal it reduces engine wear as much as
one-half, compared with conventional oils.
And competition shows up clearly where
our products are sold. Till* is partly compe
tition in service. (“We take better care of
your car.’’) But it’s competition in price,
too. To get and hold business, every Heller
has to hold his prices down to meet others.
