1t is a fine idea that is, being ad-
vanced by the Chamber of Commerce
for Pine Bluff business men to visit
around among our neighbors and
friends every now and then, renew

new ones. And it's fine idea for
our neighbors to remember that the

be returned when callers are friend

There is every reason why we

The pioneers of the Bell System recognized
that telephone service as they saw it, was in
the broadcast sense a public utility that upon
them rested public obligation to give the
best possible service at the most reasonable
rates consistent with risk, investment and the
continued improvement and maintenance OF its
property.
Without this expenditure of millions and

In no line of human endeavor has the IN
ventiye brain of the scientist contributed more
to the worlds progress than by the creatloh
of the art of telephony, of which the Bell sys-
tenn is the embodiment.
When the telephone was born, nothing an

experience to follow.

GLIDING former professors, postgraduate STU
dents, scientific investigators-the graduates
of over 20 universities.
From it's foundation the company has con-
tnuously developed the art. New improve
ments in telephones, swltchboards lines,
cables have followed one another with re-
markable rapidity.
While each successive type of apparatus to
the superficial observer suggested similarity,
each step in the evolution marked decided
Improvement These changes, this evolution,
has not only been continuous, but is contlnu-
ing. Substantially all Of the plant now in USE
including telephones, switchboards, cables and
wires, has been constructed renewed or re-
constructed in the past 10 years.
Particularly in switchboards have the
changes been SO radical that installations cost

been discarded after only few years OF USE
Since 1877 there have been introduced 53
types and styles of receivers and 70 types ana
STYLES of transmitters. Of the 12,00O,OO0 tele-
phone receivers and transmitters owned by the
Bell Company January 1, 1914, none were IN
use prior to 1902, while the average age is less
than five years.
Within 10 years we have expended for con-
struction and reconstruction an amount more
than equal to the present book value OF our
entire plant.
Long-dstance and underground transmits
sion was the most formidable scientific prob
lem confronting the telephone experts.
The retarding effect of the earth on the
telephone current often impaired conversation
through one mile underground as much as
through 100 miles overhead. Overhead con-
yersation had it's distinct limitations.
No possible improvement in the telephone
transmitter could of itself solve these diff
cultiess
The solution was only found in the cumula-
tive effect of improvements, great and small,
in telephone transmitter line cable, switch
board, and every other piece OF apparatus or
plant required in the transmission of speech.

talking had increased from strictly local tc
