Among his igcrtw Nearly 2,000 clients are IBM, Wes- Bnghovise, Panasonic, Xerox, May Ko. and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. nfiCOl Oken's company, with the help of 8 Icomputers, determines the tele- inac: ■^ one requirements of his clients by ict ui B na ^ zin g calling patterns and other thifc ffl*ff )rma tion.

I “If I dial an organization and re- (6^ eatedl y a bus y signal, how long d fill it be before I let my fingers do ne r.l, )e walking to the next listing in the e !|l i sl ihone book?” he said. ® I Or I call a company number long iistance, get the switchboard and »k to speak with a particular sales- |ian. I hear a click and I begin hear- ng the salesman’s phone ring. After e! rings, I feel this is ridiculous. I I Want to leave a message but I can’t get the operator again. I have to hang Bp and call again and leave a message with the switchboard. A new telephone system can andle incoming and outgoing calls lore efficiently, Olsen said. TSI ses computer printouts to monitor he time and place of long-distance alls to spot possible unnecessary calls. Bell’s top concern for the most >art is to increase the cost of your Service,” Olsen said. “We don’t care iow much or how little the customer [pends. We advise him of the best ervice for his needs. It puts no aoney in our pockets to advise him use an expensive system.” I Lottmann said Southwestern Bell ecommends organizations take only v hat services and equipment they ieed. It’s ridiculous to say we’d sell Bore than what’s necessary,” he aid. “If we re not competitive, we lon’t make the sale. ” For many businesses the ordinary telephone is a minor part of the van ity of communications devices they J se for transmitting voice, data and 'ideo. Olsen said electronic fund ransfers and changes in computer echnology will ensure the growth of iis company. Olsen formed TSI in 1972 after he left Areata National in California. Al though he had never been in St. Louis, he picked the city because of 'ts central location and what he con sidered its conservative image. I figured if it’d work in St. Louis, ft would work anywhere,” he said. The interconnect industry got off ioipressively in the East and West coasts but at the time it was some what new in the Midwest. ^Family Pack Cut up FRYERS 3 Want pwtMt mHi bads 3 U4 partiMt bads 3 amp fVWTVz PABST BEER ■ 1 12 oz. can 5 Ik ■ w- l 12|,ak 4 I pfcu jMats «lb. * ~ j Iona Star FRANKS Neuhoff SUMMER SAUSAGE 12 oz^kg.
