W. tTgENTRY RE-ELECTED
PRESD’T. SOUTHERN BELL
Annual Meeting Board of Di
rectors Friday. Other Elec
tions. An Amusing Story.
Atlanta, Ga.—W. T. Gentry again
heads the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph company as president; and
the other officers are as follows:
Vice-president and General manager,
J. Epps Brown; Vice-president, J. M.
B. Hoxsey; Secretary and Treasurer,
Addison Maupin; Auditor, C. J Hol
ditch. All were elected the an
nual meeting of the directors yester
day.
Mr. Gentry's re-election to the of
fice of president is not a surprise, as
he is universally recognized as the
man whose brains are largely re
sponsible for the phenomenal growth
of the Southern Bell.
In this connection is recalled an
interesting story which the men in the
fflce tell of him. A district man
ager from a north Georgia town was
in Atlanta to make reports on certain
matters. Mr. Gentry, after routine
had been finished, began to ask the
. young man about the business In his
territory.
I "How many long distance calls did
you have in your district last month?"
asked the president. The district
managed gasped, for of course lie
didn't know. Then Mr. Gentry, so
the story goes, asked him how' many
: local calls he had at the headquarters
of the district. The young telephone
man didn’t know that either. .
“Well, my boy, since you don’t
know, I’ll tell you,” the president is
said have remarked; and he quoted
the exact figures. Whether the story
is true or not is of small consequence;
but It serves to illustrate Mr. Gentry’s
marvelous memory and grasp of detail,
which is one of the qualties largely re
sponsible for his success.
