Highway 101 Between Anaheim and Fullerton CERTIFIED GAS APPLIANCES Phone ANAHEIM 2173 COAST'S TELEPHONES DOUBLE IN TEN YEARS How we've made your telephone a more valuable servant than ever...and a better buy too 1. Today you can call twice as many telephones on the Coast as you could ten years ago. To provide service for our growing West, to make it possible for you to reach your new friends over the telephone, we've doubled our system in a decade...from 1,830,000 in the fall of 1938, to more than 3,700,000 today. This increase is more than we added in the previous 60 years. 2. Our family had to grow to make this gain. In '38 we numbered some 29,000 men and women. Today there are more than double that number ... operators, installers, linemen, plant maintenance men ... all the people who make telephone service possible. And training them to do their work for the West was a big job in itself. 3. An amazing number of miles of wire has been added to link these new telephones ... 6,000,000 miles of it. New buildings by the hundreds have been built and sensitive equipment installed. Yet we're far from through. For the West is growing still—and it must have good telephone service to help it grow soundly. 4. All these new telephones give you more value from your own telephone. You can call more people ... more people can get in touch with you. And it keeps right on being a big bargain. Even in these days of higher prices, a few pennies still buy a telephone call. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company More than 70,000 people working together to furnish ever-better telephone service to the West
