Firm's Growth
Pacific Telephone's president,
Mark R. Sullivan, said Tuesday
in the company's 1950 annual re
port that as a sult of five years
of record construction the com
pany' is in better shape than ever
to meet the communication serv
ice demands of the national emer
gency. The report was released here by
E. A. Berglund, telephone com
pany manager for Salem.
Sullivan said Pacific Telephone
raised $567,000,000 of new perma
nent capital in the past five years
to finance a postwar construction
program reputedly the largest ever
executed by any public untility
operating company. This is 41 per
cent more than was raised by the
company in the previous 68 years
of its history.
Citing the present 43 per -cent
bonded indebtedness as being too
high, Sullivan emphasized that the
money needed to continue expan
sion must come from the sale of
stock. He said the company's earn
ings are still too low to attract
common stock investors.
Pacific Telephone revenues in
1950 were $431,304,313, of which
$258,260,888 came from local tele
phone service. Operating expenses
were $306,869,330. Wages and as
sociated employee costs made up
C9 per cent of the total operating
expenses.
Additional construction during
1950 involved expenditures of over
$122,100,000, exclusive of $26,
500,000 of. reused material put
back into the plant.
Operating taxes amounted to
$66,008,164 and were nearly 50
per cent higher than in 1949. The
total telephone taxes, including
federal excise taxes paid by the
customer, amounted to $2.63 per
telephone per month.

That was the outcome of the

Almost the entire meeting was
a succession of iibs and whoppers,
spurred on by President I Robert

stunt committee chairman who
acted as master of ceremonies.
Swift, rector of St. Paul Epis
copal church, said as; yoijths he
and a companion headed from
Minnesota to Montana by train
but were thrown off the tjrain in
mid-desert. Trying to reacij a dis
tant farmhouse, they became fam
ished and ate what they thought
to be turtle eggs. ; Soon they be
came sick, and up tame tijiy rat
tlesnakes. That night, said Swift,
both had delirium tremens and
went insane. The "liar" claimed
his friend never recovered but
that he (Swift) did and went into
the ministry.
Other entrants were Mayor Al
fred W. Loucks, Superintendent
Frank B. Bennett, Prof. I M. E.
Peck, Forrest W. Breakey; Law

Condi t: on to
Ben. E. Nix keep going- For
a while Mr. Nix didn't fee much
like eating, and was just gen
erally run-down. He - hadj heard
a lot about HADACOL, but just
didn't quite believe iti Finally, he
decided to give it a trial and was
amazed at the results He started
feeling better after the first bot
tle and says he is going to con
tinue taking HADACOL. Mr. Nix
found that HADACOL contained
Vitamins Bl, B2, Niacin and Iron
which his system lacked.
Here is Mr. Nix's own state
ment: if .
"Sometime ago a friend of mine
recommended HADACL very
highly to me. At the beginning I
was very 'much amused at the
thought of HADACOL. However,
I did decide to give it a fair trial,
and to my amazement, it j helped
me greatly. I was run-down, tired
and had no appetite. After the
first bottle of HADACOL, I felt
better. My appetite had picked up,
and I really felti like eating at
mealtime for the first time in a
long time. I feel -that the Vita
mins and Minerals, which HAaDA
COL contains, have built up my
run-down condition, and I intend
to continue using HADACOL."
