Microwave Tower
t
Everyday some of the most famous people in the world come
by Perkins. Ledcrs in politics, stars of the entertainment world
and just plain Mr and Mrs Citizen pa this way thanks tt
the microwave relay tower located near Gleneoe.
Tley come by, not in person, but flashing on invisible electrio
lmpttlses on their almost instantaneous trip from New York, Holly-
wood or VJashington D.C. to teleYision sets all ove l. Oklahoma.
The Gleeoe tower - 225 feet - is one of the tallest of the 12
microwave radio relay towers which kink Dallas, Oklahoma City
and Tulsa to the nationwide radio relay network which crries
televlsitm programs and hundreds of long distance telephone vlls.
Shortening The Miles
It used to be that we could keep in touch with our families
mi friends with a chat over the backya fence or a wave and
friendly reeting from the front porch.
B it seems like people axe moving around morv these days--
from city to city and out-of-state. Some of them settle close
enough around Perkins that you can get together frequently on
weekends. But others pack up and leave for places hundreds or
even a thound miles aWay.
Today, however, you can forget the miles that separmt yem--
because of the telephone. A Long Distance call can cover the
divne In seconds. You can reach friends or relatives in distant
cities Just as fast as you cu set up an over the-fence talk.
Calling Long Distance is fast, it's pcrsomd, an d the cost Is low.
You can call from Perkins to any place in the United States for
less than $2.00. Thzt's the sttion-to-stmtion rate, every night
after 6 p m and agl day Sunday.
Just Reach When It Rings
People tell me from time to time tlutt whenever their tel-
plmne rings, it seems they're off in anoth room, and have to
make a dash to answer.
When this happens, they usually reach the telephone out of
breath or maybe with a bruised shin.
There's a rcanedy to this situation---an easy low-rust remedy
that more people are discovering. You gesse¢! it---additlon!
telephones that a're handy wherever you mltVbe when you
hear the famlliv ring.
To have telephones so hzdy you can just reach instead of
ruaming, call the telephone compaay.
The cost for an extension telephone is low: only $1.00 a month,
pas tax and , small oue-time Instaliion charge.
Call by Number .,. . It's Twlc@ As Fast
