Phone Springfield 2 The WILLAMETTE PRESS Prophecy THERE were few who shared the faith of the pioneers who undertook the de velopment of the telephone. With an infant art to nourish constantly by new discovery and invention, and handicapped by scanty capital and public apathy, they held to their vision of a nation-wide service. Nearly two score years ago, .when the telephones of the United States were fewer than those of a single New York borough today, the business was organized essentially like the Bell System of the present. That is: a central advisory staff, a central scientific organization devoted to development and re search, a central department to promote progress in operating technique, a central source of supply of standardized material, local operating companies fa miliar with local needs, and a national net-work of lines interconnecting these com panies. .Telephone pioneers planned this organization structure, be lieving it necessary for efficient and economical national service. The nation's experience" has proved the clearness of their vision.
