long-distance service

Phone companies once provided a mounted phone, long-distance service, and local calls for a single price.

A faster long-distance service, at double rates, is being well patronized.

For long-distance service, where the charges vary, it is necessary to signal to an operator just what coins are paid.

To it is added a postal office, a telegraph office and public telephones for both local and long distance service.

The motive power and cars thus freed from short-haul work can be employed in very important long-distance service.
