' ■' ■ • ■ 4- . . • ■ * In the engineering of a telephone plant—switchboards, conduits, cables, pole lines and general mechanical equipment—we have always tried to anticipate the growth of a community and provide therfor by advance construction. This course has enabled us to more promptly comply with requirements for service with better construction and at an ultimata expense less than that involved In waiting to meet demands as they arise. In the war period w s ware unable to maintain thia reserve plant, aa the vexj) things we needed for telephono purposes were required and necessarily taken for gov ernment purposes. The demand for telephone service did not decrease and our reserve facilities were practically absorbed in meeting it. 99 Aa every business man knows, the problems of reconstruction following the war have been acute and prolonged to an entirely unexpected degree. Unusual conditions are prevalent throughout the entire manufacturing, mercantile and social world. The telephone industry has had to meat all the difficulties and handicaps of retarded produc tion distribution and transportation. • j < "• "I-' ' JkL—' £■ *:■*', ■ 1 ‘ ' ' " * "* r . c. * This advertisement is not meant to be one of apology, but one of explanation and even accomplishment. In the face of an unprecedented demand for telephone service In the last few months, hampered by the exhaustion of our reserve plant and difficulty in securing materials, we have added more telephones thus far this year in the State of Oregon than jn any sim ilar period of telephone history. In the State of Oregon, in the eight months ending August 81, we have added 6868 telephones. In the eight months ending July 81, 1917—before the war—we gained 2666 telephones. In the State of Oregon we have approximately 2600 unfilled applications for tele phone service. A sim ilar situation exists all over the United States. We w ill con tinue to secure all the equipment possible, and the desires of the public w ill be met as soon as it is humanly possible to do so.
