Dear Mr. Hasten:

You may not realize it, but you already have half of a security system to protect your home against such hazards as fire, smoke and burglary.

It’s your telephone.

But a telephone by itself only provides protection when there’s someone handy to make a call. That’s why General Telephone has devoted a lot of effort to develop total security systems for homes and businesses --- systems which function whether or not there is someone to dial the phone when an emergency happens.

We call this our Phone Alarm System.

While each system is individually tailored to the specific of a home or business, the heart of the Phone Alarm System is an automatic telephone alarm dialer. This little machine, which can be attached to your existing phone lines, automatically calls the police, fire department, a neighbor or any other telephone numbers that fit your needs.

The Phone System can also provide many other important services to help you protect your home --- the specific services you need. In some cases, you may prefer that it silently dial the police or a neighbor; in others, you may want it to trigger a loud alarm to alert everyone that some emergency has occurred.

That’s one of the unique features of a General Telephone security system --- it is tailored to fit your specific needs. We’ve analyzed all of the security devices available and identified those most efficient for each task.

Because we know each home is different, we don’t offer any standard security “package.” Instead, each Phone Alarm System is individually designed to provide the exact types of protection you require, where you require it.

In fact, we have a variety of different devices to detect movement, smoke, heat, changes in temperature, etc. Some are relatively simple, others highly complicated.

But each has been selected after careful study because we’ve found it is the best of its kind for a given situation.

We don’t expect you to know which devices best fit your needs. That’s a job for specialists. And we have specialists on our staff to fully analyze your needs and create the best possible security system for you.

There are, of course, lots of different security devices and systems on the market. But we honestly feel we have something extra to offer --- the added security you’ll have in knowing your system is maintained by always-available local telephone service personnel who have been specially trained to keep your system in top working order.

If you’ll call Mrs. Rashid toll-free at 800-322-3596, she’ll arrange to have one of our security specialists survey your requirements at a time most convenient for you. Or, if you prefer, you can just return the enclosed postcard and we’ll call you to arrange an appointment.

There’s no obligation on your part. We offer this complete analysis of your requirements and the preparation of a suggested security plan as one of our important public services.

We’ll look forward to serving you.

Sincerely,

ED M. COUGHLIN
