What The Telephone Business
Means To North Carolina
The Southern Bel' Company spent more than
$20,700,000 duriiij; he five years ot the depression
to operate, maintain ami improve North Carolina's
telephone service. This was an important contribu
tion to the advancement of the State Juiiin; a time
when work was it .illy needed and industiial activity
was at a low level.
Dining 1 1 J 4 , which was far from a i;ood year,
the telephone company's operating expenses in
North Carolina amounted to more than jM,7oo(ooo
and approximately jWJo.ooo was spent for additions
to and improvements of plant.
To build, i perate and maintain this extensive plant
requires the services of more than t,400 skilled
workers. Their annual pay roll is approximately
$ 1,500,000, most of which is spent in the State for
food, clothing, housing, and other needs.
These telephone men and women are puMic
spirited citizens, home-owners, and tax-payets. They
and their lamilies compose a large group ol mote
than 5,oiv peo; le, who are dependent upon the
telephone Lumiuss in North Carolina tor their liveli
hood. I he sU.t.iy and constant (low of millions of dollars
fiom the telepito-ie uulu.-iry in the lnim ol wages,
taxes, purchases ol law ir.atei i.i!s and other expenses,
ii regarded as an import. ml l.uioi m the economic
progress and welfare ol the State.
Hut of even i cater impoitance to the l'usuies'- and
social welfare of 'North Carolina, is the telephone
Company's responsibility for tiunishiug the adeiiiale,
dependable and high type ol telephone service lo
which you are accustomed. Yet the pi ice mhi p.i v
lor this all-import. mt service is only a lew cents a
day. A pi ice so low, in tact, as to earn less Ih.tii
four. and seven-tenths per cent on the investment in
tin plant used to furnish scivice.
