New independent Telephone {
Will Enter Rich Field

Bell Telephone Company, are enjoying much greater
success than the great monopoly Two important factors
create these conditions.
f1rst-The average red blooded individual has no
love for any great monopoly and public sentiment has
peen great factor in establishing and making success
OF the independent or home telephone lines
seoond-The independent telephone lines have an
advantage In being able TO place and upto date
equipment at the disposal Of their subscribers without
neng compelled to lose the capital which the Bell has al
ready tied up in old and less effective equipment
In 1884 there 100000 telephones in use in the
United States, telephone to every 230 people In
19of 1t IS estimated that there $500 900 telephones in
ns or one telephone to every 16 people, Of this number
the independent home companies have 5000 900
phones against 100000 of the Bell monopoly These
facts prove concusvey how important and necessary
the telephone to all business interests of the country also
making a most convincing argument in favor of the in
dependent lines.
As an evidence of the profits of telephone enterprise
we need only point to the earnings Of the Los Angeles
company for 412 years:

Business

That there is good profit in the telephone business is
fact so universally acknowledged that it seems unnec
essary to dwell upon it, small investment in the stock
OF the Bell Telephone Company has made many an indie
pendent fortune. At the present time there are more
independent telephones in the United States than Bell

was when you could have bought Bell Telephone stock
cheap Furthermore, you do not have to take the
risk that was necessary when the telephone business was
in its infancy Since its inception the telephone business
has been cassed among the most lucrative fields in which
large capital can be invested. At the present time
