AT&T Issues Report in Draillc
For Sightless Stockholders
lr elmer C. WoLZEK
UPI Financial Editor
New York rtJPU American
Telephone & Telegraph Co.
has published its full 1959 re
port in Braille
EwtWilW
of the year,
for its blind
stockholders.
It alo has
proauced a 12-
inch record of
report with its
president
Frederick R
Kappel, d i -cussing
the
the highlights
Alexander L
Stott, comptroller, the finan
cial statements, and Alexan
der Scourby, a professional
reader, the narrative.
Either or both of these is
available to blind stockhold
ers of the company. So far 3S0
of the records and 270 of the
Braille reports have been dis
tributed. Ample Mailing List
The company believes it is
the first in American corpor
ate history to issue its full re
port in Braille.
The Braille version contains
60 pages 11 inches by ll1 2
inches in size, bound in a blue
heavy paper cover,
Copies have been sent to I
might havt use for such Items,
including schools for the
blind, and the Division of the
Blind of the Library of Con
Cress, which cooperated ' in
production of the material.
The company Is informed
there has been a lack of finan
cial literature in libraries for
the blind. This report adds to
the supply.
The Braille report was
printed and the reports made
by Printing House for the
Blind, a non-profit organisa
tion in Louisville, Ky.
Distribution Is handled
through the telephone com
pany's "Telephone Pioneers of
America", an organization of
about 200,000 telephone em
ployees with 21 or more years
of service in the Industry.
This group has a long record
of service for the blind.
Many members of the pio-
ners have ben certified by the
Library of Congress to tran
scribe books and other ma
terial into Braille
One obtains a copy of the
report Braille or record or
both by writing to S. Whit
ney Landon, Secretary, Amer
ican Telephone & Telegraph
Co., 195 Broadway, New York
7, New York.
Requests then are turned
blind students and others who I over to the pioneers who ar-
range for personal delivery by
member in a local chapter.
Publication of the special
reports came as a result of a
suggestion from Miss Louise
Chace of Providence, R.I., a
shareholder, who has been
blind for several years.
Scourby in bis owti'laird
voice tells the blind stock
holders about the progress of
American Telephone through
1958. His voice is well-known
to blind and he has read them
many books long ones too,
including the Bible.
Comptroller Stott recites
the financial items of the re
port which includes the big-
gest figures in any corporation
report of a privately owned
company.
American Telephones as
sets of nesrly $21 billion top
all other business units in the
United Press International an
nual survey of bialion dollar
organizations.
The company with its 1
750,000 stockholders tops the
list in that category too. Last
year It had a total revenue of
more than $7 billion, paid
taxes of about $1.7 billion,
and had left after taxes net
income of $1,148,769,000.
The corporation's tax bill
worked out at $7.66 a share
on the outstanding 215 million
10
MA a TIIIUNI, Medferi. 0.
A M.IT. n ' !
shares while act income
amounted to $9 11 a share.
Stott noted that the Us bill
worked out to li.39 for each
elephone the company has in
service.
American Telephone issued
its regular 1959 report earlier
in the year. It was illustrated
in color on high-grade bond
paper. The Braille report
brings out charts carried in
the regular report and narra
tor Scourby describes the pic
tures. In the current issue of the
Bell Telephone Magazine, a
company publication, the tax
bite is illustrated with a big
pie chart under the heading,
"The tax slice is getting big
ger." The "slice" is more than
one-quarter of the pie, which
represents total operating ex
penses. Stott pointed out to the
blind stockholders that in ad
dition to he $1,108,000,000
paid in federal axes and the
$582 million in state and local
taxes, telephone users paid
some $600 million in federal
excise taxes and $34 million
in state and local taxes on tel
ephone service last year.
