The River
the Great Lakes to the Gulf, America’s greatest river flows
majestically. Through the heart of the country it takes its
course, broadening and deepening as lesser rivers empty their flow
into its current. Farms and cities on its banks find it a source of indus­
try and a means of supply.
Through the country runs another river, as continuous as the Mis­
sissippi in its flow. It is the river of thought which, day and night,
moves through the land and vitalizes the national life. Its source
lies in the people’s knowledge that communication with all parts of
the country is possible. It is a stream that deepens and broadens and
grows stronger as thought is added to thought, as the mind of one
community joins the mind of another.
America’s national telephone system is a channel for this river, for
Bell System service unites all sections of the country. It leaves no gap
in the pathway of communication. It knows no off-duty hours, nor
any comer of the nation that is too remote to be reached.
