Show MISS SHERLOCK HOLMES IN THE TELEPHONE SERVICE A man who spoke no English appeared ap-peared at the Salt Lake City passenger passeng-er depot, to demand telephone word with an address that nobody could understand. The chief operator at Central took the name that was all but unintelligible, though it sounded sound-ed like "Hinsissel," as he pronounced pronounc-ed it, and finally located at Eureka, 70 miles away, a subscriber with a name that might be imagined to be what the caller gave. A request to this Eureka man to answer, and if possible, assist the caller to be understood, un-derstood, disclosed that the caller was the Eureka man's nephew, just over from Norway, and stranded in Salt Lake City through some ticket mistake mis-take or loss. They learn how to serve in the telephone company, as it emphasizes courtesy and service for its patrons. |
