i It takes an air view to show how Palo Alto's new homes
Look what's
You'll probably find
If you knew Palo Alto, California, as it was when World War II began, youH remember it as a
pleasant suburban town of San Francisco commuters and Stanford University students... s
business center of the Peninsula. Population at the 'beginning of 1942: 17,000. Annual income:
$27 million. Then came the big war and postwar boom in the West Palo Alto, with lots of open
land around it, got even more than its share of this growth. Today it numbers more than 31,000
oepple. Its income has soared to more than $67 million. In these two figures lies the reason for
:en years of amazing telephone growth: More people in town and more of those people wanting
telephones. And we met this challenge by building facilities faster than ever before.

Almost the moment materials were avail
able after the war, telephone construction''
was in high gear. For wartime shortages had
built a big list of people waiting for service.
We had to catch up on those orders and
build to meet the new orders that flooded in
steadily. Just since 1945, for instance, we've
put up hundreds of new poles in the Palo Alto
exchange... we've added enough cable cir
cuits, linking new telephones with the cen
tral office, to circle the earth almost twice.

And in the central, office, which had to be enlarged to
twice its former size, we rushed intricate switching equip
ment into service, increasing our call-handling capacity to
four times what it was in 1942. Today, after putting more
than $4 million into Palo Alto's telephone system since
1942, we have almost two and a half times as many tele
phones at work. And with all this, we're still not able to fill
all orders as rapidly as they come in. But, in the face of
increasingly severe shortage of materials, well keep do
ing all we can to take care of present orders and to meet
the demands for service which we know still lie ahead.
