A
Big Investment Required
T the close of the year 1924. the Southern Bell Telephone
Company had a total investment In service of $58,987,529.
not including $337,778 of construction work in progress
substantial portion Is located in
Of this larie investment,
the Stat" of North Carolina.
Replacements and additional vlant t meet the growing needs
of the telephone users of North OartHjna wan installed last year at
a cost of approximately $1.(131.400. V
TI;e new plant is necessarily tiorhsht today's- prices, which,
for equipment, material and other major pVts of the telephone
.system, are . per cent hislier I Van t'e prer prices Wages
and taxes alone are from I'll) to SjX n t cent Miller.
An over, qreater investment must lie mad inSJorth Carolina
this year, with the result that the Investment per telephone station
is rapidly rising without a proportionate Increase in the revenue
per telephone station.
The enormous sums of money needed each year cannot be
secure, I unless the Tele;, hone Company's Credit Is Rood, and the
company's credit is juU d by the earnings on the in v stnient in
service.
Telephone users nre familiar with the increased extent and
value of telephone rervice in North Carolina, and the company Is
encouraged to believe that they will cooperate in making possible
the enormous extensions needed In the early future.

LyiriR there in all your splendor
Like a prince ot other days.
Greeting with a smile so tender
Everyone's adoring gaze
How contented with your station
Is your happy little heart!
Fretfulness and lamentation
In your program have small part.
Just to lie and kick and wriggle
And to stretch and squirm and roi
While you grunt and coo and giggle-
Bless your joyous baby soul.
All you ask is rest and quiet
And a mother's loving care;
Yours is such a simple diet:
Water, milk and goodsfresh air.
How I envy you the pleasures
Of your artless baby ways.
And the many priceless treasures
That enrich your baby days!
I wish I could have them haul me
In a baby cab again
And could hear sweet voices call m
Things they seldom say to men!

thousands of years and the applica
