1 8oo conversations at once
through a cable less than 3 inches thick
The earth beneath our great cities is so crowded
with pipes, cables, etc., that any further additions,
create serious engineering problems. Yet the num
ber of telephone calls that must flash underground
is steadily increasing. , . ?
The challenge to the scientific minds of the Bell
System was to find a way for more conversations in
existing conduits. Today, by many improvements, H
cables of 1800 pairs of wires have been perfected.
Eighteen hundred conversations at once 600 more
than before can pulse through them.
There is no standing still in the Bell System. Bet-
ter and better service at the lowest cost is the goal.

ACTUALLY, if you were willing to
pay $1,000 apiece for tires, ybii
couldn't get anything better than Good
year Double Eagles. K
Here s why: Goodyear builds them
without a cost limitation of any kind
puts into them the finest of workman
ship and materials that money can buy.
On top of this fact, Goodyear enjoys
lowest costs through bwMmg MIL
LIONS MORE tires than any other
company, So you get these "$1,00Q
