You did not buy your telephone. You bought and continue to buy inter-communication service. As the service grows, more and more apparatus per telephone is required. The telephone plant becomes more complex as the number of telephone subscribers increases.

For half a century Scientists and Engineers have faced this problem. They have introduced new materials, new discoveries, new methods, new economies, new inventions. They have madepossible today's efficient and high-quality telephone service. They can be depended upon to keep the situation in hand as new complexities come with still greater growth. TODAY, nearly a million and a half telephones in Pennsylvania are connected to your telephone.

The service extends to the ends of the nation and beyond even across the Atlantic. An inter-comjnunkation service growing today more rapidly than ever before. The ultimate is a telephone service which reaches every one that is one of the objectives of the Bell System.
