Directory Smaller Telephone Co Will Aid in Conservation
The fall and winter issue of the telephone directory will be thinner to save paper and ease handling. A two-book plan stems from federal conservation urges and low paper stocks, with listings for adjacent exchanges to serve subscribers not needing the full city directory. Subscribers may receive either one or both books, reducing paper use by about 120 tons per issue. The edition is late due to wartime production shifts.
