Timber...paper...copper—we have to buy many things to build and run the telephone system. Last year Western Electric, our principal manufacturer and supplier, bought over 20 million dollars worth of materials in the West. More than half of each dollar we take in goes for employees. Most of it is spent and goes into circulation where they work and live. 2. More than 80,000 of those whose savings built the business...who own telephone stock...live in the West. In return for the use of their money, a few pennies of each telephone dollar go to them. And as they spend it, they also add to Western prosperity. It would probably be hard to find anyone who does not in some way benefit from the money we spend. 3. When you add it all up, you find the money you spend for service comes back, in large part, to you. And your telephone dollars are buying more service than ever. Today you can call more of the people you want to call...more can call you. And your telephone still does its jobs for only a few pennies a call. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company
