This was true even duing the period
when the Government was In possession
and. control Of the telephone properties Of
this country.
The greater part Of the available tele-
phone equipment and materials was sent to
France, none Of which was ever returned.
On August LIST, 1919, when the telephone
properties were returned to the owners by
the United States Government, the avail
able supply Of equipment and material was
20 small and the needs Of the telephone
companies in this country 50 great, that ali
the telephone factories in the United States,
working day and night, could not within
three years have furnished the equipment
and materials necessary to restore the IA
cilities to the pre-war status.
The equipment and material required By
this Company to complete its 1920 con-
struction program, will equal 1,400 ear
loads of freight, averaging 10000 pounds
to the car, hauled from different parts OF
this country and delivered at hundreds OF
places In the five states In which the COM
pany operates. This is equal to thirty-fve
trains Of an average Of forty cars per train,
or $4,000 tons Of materials.
Every business man knows what this
means

The Western Electric Company is the
largest manufacturer Of telephone equip
ment and materials in the world It has
representatives in all the markets Of the
world. It buys its raw materials In vast
quantities at the lowest possible prices.
The Western Electric Company furnishes
this Company with the bulk Of its equip
ment and materials and acts as our Supply
Agent.
It did not accept any contracts from any
foreign government prior to the date the
United States entered the war and only
than at the instance of the United States
Government. It thus held itself in readf-
ness to serve at its maximum efficiency the
needs Of the telephone industry in this
country. l
It has q capacity for much larger out

what was their normal output.
