To Mr. Scoville from the New York Telephone Co.: „Can’t we have a New York Telephone Directory? Nearly all of our telephoning kup here is with New York, and it makeds a lot of troubles and delay every time, to be obliged to have addresses and telephone numbers looked up in New York before we can transact business. Wouldn’t it be for your interest as well as ours to save time and labor, and wouldn’t it encourage New York business to faciliatate matters at this end? Perhaps this seems a good deal of talk, just for a telephone book, but the fact is we need it, and are willing to do almost anything to get it, even to paying for it.
Won’t you send the book along -- two books, if possible -- and let us know the extent of the damages? […]“.
