A tremendous housing devel- XiSzWS
WMS opment brought thousands of SSS& X? 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."

3. 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. Fast as the population
has grown, the telephone has grown at an even faster rate
. . . twice as fast ih the, territory we serve. For at today's
prices, the telephone is .so economical more people can
afford it... so useful, more people want it. v . ;
