History: New Jersey Bell Telephone Post-War Advertisement (Feb 1946)

The 28 Feb 1946 edition of The Matawan Journal contained the following post-war advertisement from the New Jersey Bell Teleephone Company.

 "Here Goes For Another Big Day on Long Distance"

You'd scarcely know the war is over. . . . the way long distance calls keep pouring into our switchboards. One reason is that New Jersey's Camp Kilmer is now the major debarkation center of the East and thousands of returning servicemen continue to make their "first calls home" over our lines. Business and personal calls, too, remain very heavy.

We're building additional circuits to help carry this load. Until they're ready, however, we hope you'll use Long Distance sparingly -- and be patient when your calls are delayed.
