If tn e telephone
were Not There!
JVIaNY TIMES eacn day you reach for the telephone on your
desk at the office or in its familiar spot at home. It is an old and
trusted friend. You scarcely give a thought to what it means
to a busy day.
Yet suppose the telephone were not there 1 Suppose—for a
week —or a month—you could not call anybody by telephone
and nobody could rail you! The whole machinery of business
and the home would be thrown out of gear. Orders would be
with lost—efficiency and profits reduced. You would be out of touch
your world.
America needs quick, reliable telephone service to get
things done in the brisk, crisp American manner. And it enjoys
the best service in the world. America leads in telephone
service. In relation to population there are six times as many
telephones in this country as in Europe and the telephone is
used nine times as much.
Greater progress has been made in this country because of
the Bell System’s one policy, one system and universal service.
