Abstract
Abstract A conventional calendar for a dial telephone instrument is improved so that it may be used alternatively either as a calendar which is to be associated with a conventional telephone instrument or stood on a desk or the like. In case the calendar is to be associated with a telephone instrument, a disc portion is removed from a sheet and placed in the central portion of the dial of a telephone instrument. In case the calendar is to be free standing, the upper portion of its peripheral part is bent backwardly to form a supporting leg.
