The instrument itself costs about $25, but this is only the beginning. There is a moun tain of vital equipment behind your telephone, such as cable, wire, switchboards, buildings, and a great deal more. Without these, your phone would be a dead and useless object. We are adding new telephones to our system at a rate of almost 10,000 a year. To make these new phones possible and to improve our service to all our subscribers, we have invested over 21 million dollars since January 1, 1946. This year we have budgeted over 6 million dollars more, and our task is by no means done. It costs more than twice as much to add each new telephone today compared with costs at the end of World War II. Operating expenses have soared, too. Average wage rates of our employees have doubled since 1945. a>vl our overall operating expenses per telephone have risen 50% in this same period. Reluctantly, we have found it necessary to request modest increases in your telephone rates. Without these increases, it will be impossible to continue our improvement and expansion programs, designed to bring you the finest possible telephone service at the lowest possible cost. lb Fresh, Pan Read) 79c 55c 39c 59c 29c $100 ’626.50 Real Maple Flavor LB.
