Since the war Pacific Telephone gained as many telephones in the IVesf as in the previous 19 years
West’s four-milliontli telephone goes to work
M A IN E N T R A N C E — at B riscoe school is a sharp contrast to the

I. Takes a lo t of e q u ip m e n t to serve 4,000,000
telephones making 22,000,000 calls a day And in
just the tew high-speed years since the war, we’ve
almost doubled our facilities as measured in dollars
And those dollars have produced results. It took
45 years to install our first million telephones, 17
years to install the second million, 6 years for the
third . and onlv
years for rhe fourth
2. Service keeps on im proving as we add this
new equipment. Today you can get the dial tone or
the operator quickly in almost every exchange. Long
Distance calls, nine out of ten of them, go through
while you stay on the line .often in half a minute
if you know the number It’s a good record. But
we won’t be satisfied until everyone who wants
service has it., the best service ever
5. Your ow n telep h o n e today is more valuable
as a result of the many we’ve added You can call
more of the people you want to call — more can
call you And vout telephone does its work, big
lobs and small, fot only a few pennies a call It’s
one of the best buys vou can make with vour
lollars toda\
