IP SPff new telephone customers. SlS You may find that here is the telephone story of your town, too 1. Like the rest of the West, the Inglewood-Westchester area has grown amazingly in the last decade. Population in the area served from the Inglewood telephone exchange has jumped from 42,000 at the beginning of 1942 to over 100,000 today. Much of this growth came in the Westchester com munity, where, an entirely new city has been created. Pro viding telephone service to so many new homes and busi nesses has been a real challenge. . - 2. Just as soon as materials were available after the war, telephone construction got underway.Twenty-one thousand feet of floor space was added to the central office building in 1945 , more than 12,000 in 1946. Into this building we rushed huge quantities of intricate central office equipment more than two and -a half million dollars' worth. And, to link new telephones with the central office, we have strung more than 133,000 mile3 of wire, put up 1,500 poles. Construction has recently begun on another new three story addition to the Inglewood telephone building to provide room for even more central office equipment." c Pacific Telephone Local and VFW To Meet Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1833 ' will meet at 8 p.m. today at the Vet erans club, 42 North Front street. - .

Telephones went in at a record-breaking rate. In 1942 we served about 7,000 telephones from our Inglewood exchange. Today it's well over 34,000... the result of an investment of . $8 million. Even so, growth in the Inglewood area has been so rapid, we're still not able to fill all orders as fast as they come in. Today we're short of many of the critical materials we need... but we'll keep doing all we can to fill all orders and those which we know still lie ahead. Your telephone is one of today's best bargains Up and down the West, the Inglewood-Westchester story has been told in hundreds of towns.
