The results of the test start Mr X thinking—he thinks of the telephones standing everywhere ready for constant service in all fields of business nad industry. He wonders what sort of voice his own company has. He makes a business call to a company with a very poor voice and when his secretary assures him that he sometimes sounds just as bad he determines to give his company a better representation. In the next few days he becomes more and more voice conscious and radio taught him a convincing lesson. He makes many discoveries about thoughtless telephone habits. Then comes the reorganization of the telephone habits of his employees. More thoughtless calls receive treatment; the better way of handling these same calls is suggested.
