1. One of the brightest spots in your budget today is the telephone... for the prices we
charge have gone up much less than those of most other things you buy. In fact,
taking 1940 as the starting point, Pacific Telephone prices are 61 per cent behind the
average price increases of other things. On the other hand, were up against a serious
problem in furnishing good telephone service to you. For our dollars buy less equip

3. Adding a new telephone since the war costs
■hbout twice as much as before the war. Y et the
profit per telephone in 1951 was up only slightly
over 1940—about a dollar a year. As a result, the
profit on our investm ent in facilities for each new
telephone has been more th a n cu t in half. I t ’s

inflation and higher taxes. Consider their effect:
On the average, wage rates of telephone people
today are more than double what they were in
1940;'while operating taxi* on the average tele
