Description

8” x 10.5” B&W magazine ad from the October 4, 1943 edition of Time Magazine.  The publication date appears on the back of ad, along with a letter from the publisher regarding war correspondents.


The ad reads: “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.”
