TELEPHONE ORDERS
FILLED IN A MONTH
In some fastest.grewing areas
the wait still is 10ng-but we're
making steady progress
1. Installers h,ve been working fast the
first half of 1949 . . . keeping up their pace of
1 • t
the postwar years, l ere ,n the \\;Vest, I,J5,0(10 new
telephone:; will have gone into service in the first
six months of die ycar. Ahhough new orders
keep pouring in, we're able to take care of them
faster. Seventy-two per cent are filled within
thirty da)'s---fllat's practically three .,t of four,
sUE r:TbN:MXs'Oi00 cot00rv jotmN£r00
2. Hundreds of miles of telephone cables have
been going in at a fast clip. But these voice-ifigh.
ways are still bottlenecked in some places--in
many of our fastcst-growing areas, practically no
telephones can be installed for months.., until
the lines and other facilities can catch up with tile
mushrooming demand. The telephone picture
looks better.., but it's not yet all we want it to be.
4. Huge sums, of money have !i;i)
gone to work in the West to make
this new equipment possible
and your own telephone more val'
uahle. Millions must comenot
from bills--but from people who
put savings into the telephone
business. To attract these dollars,
wc must pay a rcasom)ble amount
for their use . . . must sell our ,t
services at fair, adequate prices.
3. Nearly a million and a half tiny solclered
t'onnectious must be made before new equipment
like this can begin working in a mcdiunl-sized
office. But we're hnrrying all we can to make the
wa/ting tinle shorter still. X4)ur telephone needs
are very real to us and we won't be satisfied lentil
everyone.., everywhere in the\\;Vest ... hits more
and bctter telephone service than ever before.
