The Telephone Situation
In the engineering of a telephone plant—switchboards, conduits, cables, pole lines and general
mechanical equipment—we have always tried to anticipate the growth of a community and provide'
therefor by advance construction. This course has enabled us to more promptly comply with re
quirements for service with better construction and at an ultimate expense less than that involved
in waiting to meet demands as they arise.
)
In the war period we were unable to maintain this reserve plant, as the very things we needed
for telephone purposes were required and necessarily taken for government purposes. The demand
for telephone service did not decrease and our reserve facilities were practically absorbed in meeting
it.
A b every business man knows, the problems of reconstruction following the war have been acute
and prolonged to an entirely unexpected degree. Unusual conditions are prevalent throughout the
entire manufacturing, mercantile and social world. The telephone industry has had to meet all the
difficulties and handicaps of retarded production, distribution and transportation.
This advertisement is not meant to be one of a pology, but one of explanation and even accomplish
ment. In the face of an unprecedented demand for telephone service in the last few months, hamp
ered by the exhaustion of our reserve plant and difficulty in securing materials, we have added more
telephones thus far this y'ar in the State of Oregon than in any similar period of telephone history.
In the State of Oregon, in the eight months ending August 31, we have added 6863 telephones.
In the eight months ending July 31, 1917—before the war—we gained 2655 telephones.
In the State of Oregon we have approximately 2600 unfilled applications for telephone service.
A similar situation exists all over the United States. We will continue to secure all the equipment .
. possible, and the desires of the public will be met as soon as it is humanly possible to do so.
The Telephone Company regrets the inconvenience to prospective subscribers. It is anxious to
give service as the patron is to receive it. The Company is doing all in its power to remedy condi
tions and furnish service in accordance with normal standards.

The Democrats are giving us the same line of bunk which enabled them to elect Woodrow Wilson four
years ago and dispatch this nation of ours on the most costly, most shameful jamboree of waste and extrav- ■
agance in its history. Of course, they would make the League of Nations the main issue in the campaign.
