About This Quote

Whenever we walk by the pay-phone and see a plaque that says “No Customer Is Out of Reach” we can be assured that this is a great pay-phone and one of the most useful objects in our society. If we had no pay phone, we would have to travel all the way to the nearest phone booth in order to make a call. Pay phones are an essential part of modern society; they give us access when we need it most. This is why there should be a plaque on every pay phone.
