1. In the ten busiest years we ever had, the West’s
population jumped more than fifty per cent. Tele
phone service grew even faster . . . the number o f
telephones at work in the West has doubled. And
we built this new system in the face o f infiated
postwar costs...for we can’t, in contrast with most
businesses, defer the addition o f plant just because
the cost is high.
3. As a p art o f a bigger system, your telephone
is a bigger value today...particularly when you con
sider the low rates you pay for service. Long dis
tance telephone rates actually decreased between
1940 and 1946. And, while the increases in local
and long distance rates since 1946 vary, the average
for the territory we serve has been only 27 per cent.
Your telephone still gives you a big value for your
budget dollar. I t ’s one o f today’s best bargains.

2. You may never call this particular telephone...
but it’s pretty certain you will want to call or hear
from some o f the telephones we’re adding. As the
West grows, new people come into your town . . .
others move their homes and businesses. . . so it is
necessary for us to do our best to keep pace with the
growth o f your community to make sure you can call
whom you want, when you want.
