I n a Forest] On the Beach ' I t Costs Us MORE to S erve You» O ur goal is now, as it has always been, to bring you the best possible telephone service a t the lowest possible cost. B u t costs continue to go up, as the following illustrations show: 1945 TO ADD. 1952 1953 $392 $436 NEW TELEPHONES At the close of World W ar II, it required an investment o f $193 for each new telephone we added to our system. By m id-1952 this figure had risen to $392. Last year costa con tinued to rise so th at a t the end of 1953 an investment of $ 136 was required for every added telephone. In 1940, it cost us $33 per telephone to keep our system running. But these costs have more than doubled since then. OPERATING EXPENSES & TAXES PER TELEPHONE Average wage rates of our employees have doubled since 1945. In the past year our operating costa and taxes con tinued upward, so that today it costs us $72 per telephone just for these basic expenses. We Ixave pledged to bring you telephone service as fine aa is available anywhere, but to keep this promise requires a tremendous investment in ph\>ical property, in what wa call our ’’plant.” In 1916, our plant in service totalled $7,838,103. By the end of 1952 this had soared to $21,530,847 and during last year it rose anoth< r 15 c to reach $24,725,122. This is not all that we have spent. either, for since the end of 1945 we have spent a total of .. 21,456,490 to improve our facilities and make more ti lephones available for more peopla. We are determined to bring you the finest possible telephone service a t the lowest possible cost, and we will continue to improve and expand our fa<.’ les as rapidly as our earn» ings and available capital permit. ------- 31 \ » TELSPHOXK COMPIO
