Its Objects and Its Functions There can be no possible argument about the object for which a telephone company exists, and the end toward which it must aim in order to attain success. It is the business of a telephone company to sell telephone ser vice-good sendee at reasonable cost. The telephone company, both from motives of self-interest and because of the duty which it owes its patrons, must treat the public with courtesy and consideration, be sides giving prompt and accurate sendee. The hundreds of thousands of dollars we have spent in equip ment, in real estate and in buildings, and the thousands of dollars we pay our employees every week, are all expeuded for the purpose of giving good service. We are a permanent citizen of Atlanta, and we expect to do our part toward adding to the greatness of our city. As the city of Atlanta has grown, the cost of giving telephone sendee has increased. The average profit per station has decreased, and the cost of maintaining and renewing the plant has increased hv leaps and bounds. The value of the service to the subscriber has be come greater as each new telephone lias been added, and the Bell sys tem has become almost indispensable to the business world and the man of affairs. We want you to know that we know the object of our existence is to give good telephone service.* We want you to know that we re alize our duty to our patrons and are bending all our energies to accom plish it. A visit to our operating rooms will convince you. For Information About Rates and Service Call Contract Department, Main 9 0 81). Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company
