The telephone industry is perhaps the only major field where it is more expensive to operate a large number of units than it is a smaller quantity. With two telephone subscribers there is only one possible connec tion. With three subscribers the system must provide for three connec tions. How many connections are required for twelve?* The answer is 66, and for 100 subscribers we must provide facilities for 4,950 possible conversations! As the telephones increase, the necessary wires and con nections multiply astronomically. Even with the most modern switch boards and equipment, the cost per telephone rises as the facilities grow larger in each exchange. For Children Children’s Cribs Crib Mattresses High Chairs..... Training Chairs Child’s Walkers Play Pens ......... Yes, it is an unusual fact, but the greater the number of telephones in our system, the more it costs us to operate each one of them!

Our maintenance costs, installation costs, equipment, wages... all of our operating costs have increased until we have found it an economic necessity to request a moderate increase in our rate structure.
