The telephone company
reports to those waiting
for service
The telephone company is anxious to bring you the
service you've ordered.
Telephone factories are working hard at the tre-
mendous task of catching up with America's backed-up
demand for telephone service. (More than 2,000,000
people are waiting throughout the nation.)
In December factories were making telephone in-
struments at the rate of 230,000 a month. By
January 1, in the five states served by this company,
about 60,000 of these newly manufactured instru-
ments already had been installed.
But making and installing telephone instruments
is oiuy a part of the job of providing service for
everybody. We are planning, making, and installing
the great volume of switchboards, dial equipment,
cable, wire—and even buildings—necessary to make
those telephones work.
By the year's end, enough central office equipment
to connect 40,000 additional telephones had been
made and installed in this company's territory. This
is the time-taking pkrt of the job—the apparatus is
complicated to make and complicated to install.
Equipment for 10,000 telephones must be wired to
handle nearly 50 million possible telephone connec-
tions. We're pushing this complex job as fast as we
can; it will take time, but we're doing our best to
take as little time as possible.
Miles and miles of cable to connect telephones with
central offices have been put in since the end of the
war; and in the last few weeks, by reason of increased
supplies of men and material, the rate of installation
has doubled.
We have made progress—and every month during
the coming year our progress will be still more rapid.
Everyone will get service in his proper turn. Your serv-
ice once ordered, you can be sure that your applica-
tion is before us; and a3 soon as the equipment is
available to connect your telephone, we will notify
you and arrange details for providing your
service.

Poor wiring is as outmoded as the high-wheeler
grandfather used to ride. Today we have so many
electrical aids that good wiring is a necessity if we
expect efficient service.
Plug too many appliances into one poorly wired
circuit and it may overheat if fuse does not blow in
time to shut it off. The loss of electrical energy
into heat on such an overloaded circuit also reduces
the efficiency of each appliance attached.
It's quite easy to get your wiring up to date. Start
planning now and remember that full benefit of
electrical appliances depends upon adequate and
proper wiring.
