Abstract
Abstract A telephone booth construction utilizes a telephone mounting bracket and a telephone mounting cover. There are multiple screw holes in both the mounting bracket and the mounting cover and the holes are so arranged that the mounting bracket may be attached in two different positions on a wall of the booth. The mounting cover which has a telephone mounting opening may similarly be attached in two different positions on the mounting bracket, which different positions involve only the reversal of the mounting cover and provide for two different mounting heights for the telephone.
