Description
Three color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that reminds you that one of the best presents that you can give someone who is far away is a phone call for Christmas. There is a drawing of Santa Claus with the body of an old telephone holding up one sign that warns “Busiest Christmas for Long Distance” and another that suggests “So we hope you will go easy on Christmas calling. It will help a lot if you can make your Long Distance calls the Sunday before or the Saturday after Christmas. You’ll get faster service then.” This ad reminds those of us who lived when things were not unlimited that we used to have to plan things like when to make a long distance phone call to avoid that long wait while a free phone line was located.
