Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
THERE'S A BARTENDER in Miami Beach who likes to
think he knows the recipe for every drink ever con
cocted, but a customer finally stopped him cold. This was a
man who had been splat
tered by mud as he
stepped out of an auto
mobile, and enraged
when he saw the havoc
wreaked on his cream
colored doeskin pants. He
was angry still when he
strode into the bar and
demanded, "A double
scotch, dammit, a whisk
broom, and a hot wet
towel."
. "You'll have to mix it
yourself,", said the bar
tender regretfully.
"That's a new one on me."
Jack Benny, under the weather briefly at a Miami Beach hotel,
summoned a local medico. "That stuff about my being 39 is just
to make my TV audience laugh," confided Benny. "I'm really 49."
"Funny," commented the doctor. "Your corpuscles are 64."
Benny noted that the sen-ants at the hotel are particularly
polite. "It's no wonder, though," added Jack. "They were guests
last season!" .

Year of Progress
Noted by PT&T in
Annual Report
. Portland The Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph compa
ny described 1959 as "A Year
of Progress" in its annual re
port released Friday.
A gain of 509,000 tele
phones made during the past
year was topped only by the
513,000 recorded in 1956. The
compay reported a gain of
173,000 extension telephones
and 550,000 color sets. Total
telephones in service at year's,
end approached 7.5 million.
Long distance calls ran
more than 12 per cent above
1958. The expansion of direct
distance dialing now makes it
possible for about 50 per cent
of Pacific Telephone custom
ers to dial their own long
distance calls, according to
the report.
Construction Increases
Overall construction new
buildings and equipment to
take care of growth, and re
placements .' to keep service
and facilities up-to-date cost
the company $341 million.
The 1958 figure was $333 mil
lion. Gross plant on the compa
ny's books averaged $3.1 bil
lion last year against $2.8
billion the year before. Aver
age capital for the two years
stock, debentures, short
term borrowings and surplus
totaled $2.5 billion and $2.3
billion respectively. "
Earnings per share of com
mon stock were $1.47 com-!
pared to $1.28 in 1958. Divi
dends, in 1959 amounted to
$1.07 per share compared to
$1 in 1958. Figures reported
are adjusted to reflect a 7-for-1
split of common stock
made last August. The per
cent return on gross plant was
5.75 per cent compared to
5.06 per cent in 1958.
Revenues in 1959 totaled
$1,040,706,377 compared to
$935,843,557 in 1958. But op
erating expenses, taxes and
interest also were higher in
1959$896 million -compared
to $825 million the previous
year. Taxes showed the larg
est increase up 25 per cent
over 1958.
The company's tax bill of
$240 million, not counting the
10 per cent excise tax collect
ed from customers and turn
ed over to the federal govern
ment,: amounted to $2.54 per
common share.

If your family's needs :
are increasing
consider these facts
about investing
1. As a family grows, it costs more to provide for
their increasing needs and wants. Struggling along
to make ends meet is fine for young people. It builds
character. But every early sacrifice should be aimed
at a bright goal in the future. Will you be able to
afford your goals and those of your family?
2. Investing in sound securities has helped many
to keep up with growing demands. Many of Ameri
ca's businesses and industries have forged ahead.
They must continue to do so if they are to provide
the better things our people want and need. You can
share in business profit and industrial growth through
the acquisition of sound securities.
3. One in every eight adults in the United States
owns his share of American business. Relatively
few are wealthy. Some invest with as little as $40
every three months. They use the Monthly Invest
ment Plan, which is described in the interesting book
let offered below.
4. You can get facts and advice right here in this
city. More than 2,600 offices of Member Firms of the
New York Stock Exchange are located coast-to-coast
to help you invest on a sounder basis. Their help is
- free. Their only charge is a small commission when
you buy or sell.
5. This may help you start: Consider investing only
money not earmarked for regular living expenses or
emergency savings. Remember, the prices of securi-
' ties go up and down, and a company may not always
pay dividends or interest.
Get the list of over 400 stocks that have paid divi
dends every year from 25 to 112 years. It's in the
booklet, "dividends over the years," free with the

information about stocks and bonds that seem to fit
your needs.
