enough in the people to believe that
they will stand by the company which
has served them best.
When the independent telephone
companies began doing business, the
old company looked upon the move
ment as joke. They had tabulated
the cost Of construction and running
expenses and knew well that the price
at which their competitors began doing
business would be insufficient to main.
tain the business when the number OF
subscribers increased to the point that
would be considered real competition
Therefore, they did nothing, and lost
their opportunity of keeping the peo
pie on their side. The Independent
man had much nerve and little money
and he put them up against monop
oily that ignored the possibility of sue
cessful competition. The Bell com
pany then offered to bride the peo
pie by making rates much below cost
Sometimes giving free service, and
throwing every possible obstruc
ton in the way of Independent people
But the Independent men, like Ban
quo's ghost, are not laid to rest so cas-
lily. and they still haunt the Bell feasts
with persistence that will not be ig
nored and tenacity that will moi
