1. W h e n you see telephone table on its way to
work, you’re watching the West benefit in two
important ways. It means new voice highways for
the West . . . more telephones . . . better service.
It also means jobs and paychecks for the men who
make the cable, those who install it and, later on,
those who maintain it. And putting in new cable
is just a small part of our building program.
All Grange Members and Friends are in­
vited to attend an . . .

3 . H u n d re d * o f now b u ildings mean work for
carpenters, bricklayers— and work for those who
provide the materials. They mean future jobs for
telephone people. Since the war, we’ve put half a
billion dollars to work in new construction. Much
of it has found its way in ever-widening circles
into the economy of practically every city and
town in the West.
4. It o il ad d s up — this tre­
mendous building program —
to a better West for all of us.
It is being paid for by thou­
sands of investors who have
provided the millions o f new
working dollars that make the
job possible. Result: More tel­
ephones . . . better service. Yet
a few pennies still buy a tele-
.thone call — one of your real
slue«
day.
3 . M o re business fo r th e b a k e r , the drug­
gist, the clothier — telephone construction has
given the West a big postwar lift. There’s no way,
of course, to trace all the jobs created by just one
mile o f cable . . . or one building. But it would
probably be hard to find a family whose income
has not benefited, in some way, from the money
we’ve spent to provide more service.
