PROVIDING . . .
Rural Telephones
is A BIG JOB
It' a big one . . . the job of
providing telephone service
lo rural people scattered over hundreds
of thousands of square miles in nine
slates!
But it's a job that we're pleased to lie
doing. Southern Hell trucks and me', are
becoming a more and more familiar
sight along the rural roads of the South
east. Of course a job of this size can't be
completed oernight particularly since
more central office equipment must be
installed at many telephone exchanges
before additional 'phones can be con
nected. You can be sure of this: We're doing
the job, using the best equipment and
technique Bell System experience and
research can develop, and we'll keep on
extending telephone service into more
and more rural areas.
