Telephones and telephone cable* go to-
gether. You talk into the telephone—
but it’s the cable that carries your voice.
If you are waiting fora telephone you
may wonder why we don’t connect it to a
telephone cable already near your home.
The answer usually is: That cable is
carrying a full load right now.
It would be handy if we could hang
out an “SRO” sign like a theater—
“Standing Room Only”—and connect a
lot of extra telephones to these full-up
cables.
But cables aren’t like that. When
they’re working 100 per cent—when
every wire in them is already connected
—there just isn’t any more room, stand-
ing room or anything else.
So... to bring service to you and to
others waiting, we must place more
cables. That gives us extra wires. Then
we can connect new telephones.
That’s what we’re doing, getting more
cables in place, and faster than ever be-
fore. A million miles of cable wire this
year alone. All so that we can get tele-
phones to those waiting just as soon as
we can, and to make all service better
than before.
