Million Have
Phone Shares
The numbfcr of stockholders in
the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company reached 1,
000,000 Tuesday, Southern Bell
manager H. M. Inabinet announ
ced.
As the 1,000,000th point was at
tained, there were 6,157 stock
holders in North Carolina, own
ing 163,349 shares.
"The Bell System is the only
American business with such a
democracy of ownership as to
have 1,000,000 owners," Mr. Ina
binet pointed out. "The people
in all walks of life who have in
vetted in the Bell telephone bus
iness, and thus become stockhold
ers, live in 19,000 Cities, towns,
and rural areas in the nation, in
cluding North Carolina."
Mr. and Mrs. Brady Denton, of
Saginaw, Mich., are joint owners
of the millionth certificate rep
resenting stock. He is an auto
mobile salesman ? typical of the
average Bell System stockhold
ers, who are farmers, business
men, clergymen, merchants,
teachers, widows and other
"hometown" folks.
Funds supplied by people who
have invested in the Bell System,
like the Dentons, have made it
possible fnr Southern Bell to
spent $63,00,000 for additional
facilities in North Carolina be
tween January 1, 1945, and March
31, 1951, Mr. Inabinet said.
Telephone service demands in
North Carolina are on the in
crease, Mr. Inabinet said, calling
for large amounts of additional
facilities yet to be installed.
Funds for new facilities do not
come from customer's monthly
payment of their bills but must
be raised in the form of new cap
ital. Telephone earnings must be
such as will attract the funds of
people who have funds to invest,
Mr. Inabinet declared. "That is
why it is essential that the Tele
phone Company in North Caro
line be financially strong, with
adequate earnings to do the job
that the people of the state want
done."

according to information furnish
ed by Wade H. Lee, local deputy
