pelled evenly, uniformly and without ap-
parent effort, up hill and down, slowly
over the rough places, easily down to a
bad culvert at the foot of a long steep
hill and steadily up the long incline, with
power to spare under every test. • That
is what causes the real satisfaction.

Some Telephone
Facts
IT COSTS MORE TO FURNISH TELEPHONE SERVICE
TODAY THAN IT DID A FEW YEARS AGO .
THE COST OF ALL MATERIALS AND LABORHASIN-
CREA5ED IN THE PAST FEW YEARS BUT TELEPHONE
RATES HAVE REMAINED FIXED. IT IS NOW IMPER-
ATIVE THAT TELEPHONE RATES BE SLIGHTLY IN-
CREASED IN ORDER TO MEET THE CHANGED CON-
DITIONS.
WE HAVE NCfr BEEN EARNING ANYTHING LIKE A
REASONABLE RETURN AND WE MUST INCREASE THE
RATE TO OUR PATRONS TO A POINT WHERE WE
CAN EARN A SMALL RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT.
KATE WILL NOT YIELD A REASONABLE
RETURN BUT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE INCREASE
THE RATE TO A POINT WHERE WE WILL NOT*SUF-
- ‘ —~
TTnES^ PROPORTIONATELY, BUT THfcY WILL ENABLE
US TO SURVIVE AND PROPERLY FULFILL OUR OBLI-
GATIONS TO THE PUBLIC.
INCREASES IN COST OF MATERIALS
INCREASES IN COST OF OPERATION
INCREASES IN COST OF ALL LABOR
MUST INCREASE THE COST OF TELEPHONE SERVICE.
