“manager. Brian Bagley, said
the store. will serve residen-
tial customers from Whyte-
cliffe. to Deep Cove from its
‘ location in the Capilano Mall
on Marine Drive.

"Under the Phone ‘Mart
concept, customers are able
“to visit the. store, select the
style and color of telephone.
they prefer from a wide .
selection of models and
colors -- and.carry home the
‘telephone to plug into a
pre- -wired wall jack. |

“During the visit to. ‘the
“store,”’
customer is able to arrange
for service connection-- and -
make a substantial saving in
installation costs. Phone
Mart customers who take
advantage’ of the new
system pay a lower connec-
tion charge because a visit by |
a telephone installer is not
necessary.

‘*Customers will be able to

browse in a_ retail store
atmosphere at the new North |
Shore Phone Mart,’’ satd
Bagley, ‘‘and discuss all
aspects of telephone service
with a qualified service
representative.’’ He noted -
that customers do not pur-
chase \
Phone Mart, but make the
traditional monthly — rental
arrangements.

“Phone “Mart speeds. up
_service,”” he said, “by
‘eliminating the need for a
telephone installer to gain
access to the customer's
home.

Bagley noted that B.C. Tel
must continue to provide the
