But actually, the increases in telephone rates do not even cover our increased wage costs alone. 3. You have more telephone service -and better telephone service today than ever. And the value you're getting for your telephone dollar is due, basic ally, to just one tiling. Over the years your telephone system has had the financial strength to attract the in vestors' money needed to build the equipment and develop telephone service to a mighty efficient level. And with financially strong system, the telephone can continue to grow in value and useruiness to you and to all the nation. X 2.
