Good Looking & Hard Working

Of all the many types of buildings San Antonio constructs, one of the most popular is the lumber shed.

The two views here show the new lumber shed we recently built for Saddleback Lumber Co. in El Toro. Ca.

Recognizing the increasing importance of a good appearance for yard buildings, we used Texture I -l I siding on three sides so that it is as handsome as it is functional. The wide spacing of the poles gives easJaccess while retaining the strength needed.

San Antonio specializes in affordable, long lasting buildings, .just the kind you need to increase efficiency and profitability.

We can build whatever type of building you want; quickly and at a reasonable price.

Let San Antonio solve your building problems today.

Ways to Check Phone Bills

These six practices will help you Spot errors or abuses on Vour telephone bills.

( I ) Record exact dates of service or equipnrent cancellations bv writing a lctter or issuing a change order. Since service is billed in advance, you should receive a credit on the next bill fronr the dare of cancellation to the end of billins period.

(2) Log service ourages inclucling WATS, tie lines and foreign exchange service and clainr credit for thenr. Chcck ourgoing circuirs periodically. Installation of beehive lanrps will enable users ol tie-lines. FX or WATS circuit t0 nreasure usage of'the circuit and verify telephone bills.

(3) Ilave the telephone conrpany nrake a yearly inventory of thc phone equipnrent (it's free) and check your service bill for extra equipnrent charges.

(4) Check nressage units. Ilave employees report wrong nuntbers for credit. lfoffice is snrall. ask each enrployee 1o keep a tally of local calls. Conrpare figures and ask for verification if nuntbers do not nratch.

(5) Review third nunrber calls (where nrain office is charsed for a call placecl elsewhere) on long-distance statenrent. If calls seenr unreasonable, refuse to pay until telephone contpany verilles thenr. Solve the problenl by refusing to authorize third nunrber calls and issuing credit cards chargeable to their honre phones for employees who travel.

(6) Check all long distance bills for expensive or lengthy calls to areas where t.he conrpany has little business or no representation. Have the telephone conrpany verify any dubious calls.

Ways to Get Off the Phone

A few sinrple techniques can get you off the phone fast when a conversation becomes a marathon.

Preventive measures include telling the caller that you have to finish an assignment intmediately and will call him back. Place the return call just before his quitting time. lf all these fail, start talking of your problems or ask questions that the caller can not answer.

Also successful at stalling a long conversation is the setting of a time limit. "Sorry, but I can talk for only three minutes."

Other effective methods are sig- naling the end with "Before we hang up. " or asking the caller to estimate the time needed for the discussion. Then suggesting a shorter limit.

Desperation solutions are hanging up in the middle of your own sentence since no one would cut himself off, or having your secretary call you on another extension.
