spring company than the fellowship
of the giant intellects that constructed
this marvellous industry and journey
along the pathway of its development,
illuminated at every mile-post of its
progress by the lightning-fashes of
brilliant minds, will be taken at very
early date.
A brief statistical review of the in
dustry brings out its growth and mag
nitude In a most convincing and IN
forgetable manner.
The telephone service of the United
States is the most popular and efficient
and its rates are the cheapest of the
telephone systems of the world.
We are the greatest takers on earth.
We send 60 per cent of our commune
cations over the telephone. The world
has about 100000 telephones and of
this number the United States has ap-
proximately $4,000, Europe 1920, 900
and other countries 100000 Accord
ing to the latest world telephone CEN
sus, the total telephone investment is
81, 900, 100000 and Of this amount ST.
095, 100000 was credited to the United
States. s636,0O0,OO0 in Europe and
$175,000,000 in other countries. TheI
annual telephone conversations total
24,600, 100000 divided as follows: Unit
ed States $500. 100000; Europe $780,
600 900. and other countries 2. 200 0OO i
00o The total world wire telephone
mileage is 33,262.0o0 miles divided as
follows: United States 20,248,000, Eu-
rope 10,335, 200. and other countries
2,679.00O. About six per cent Of
the worlds population and sixty-one
per cent of the telephone wire mile
age Is In the United States.

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great com
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems Of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
yentive genius have, under American
supervision, spun network OF wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in it's early youth. mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to- leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever eXerted more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types Of
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
