The Facts of the Telephone
Situation in Louisiana.
byJ EPPs ,Peadeu.
GRApHCO
The Company, The Public, The Employees.

Adequate and efficient telephone service is
essential to the continued prosperity of all
commercial enterprises, and a telephone in the
nome for social intercourse is as necessary as
telephone in the place of business.
No telephone company can furnish this SER
vice without the full support of the public it
serves. This is true because the interests of
the public, the telephone company and it's en-
ployees are identical; each must cooperate
and neither can permanently profit at the ex-
pense of the other.
The Company furnishes the Plant and re-
ceives Profits.
The Employees furnish the Effort and re,
ceive Wages.
The Public furnishes the Revenue and re-
ceives Service,
The telephone situation is as much the con.
Germ of the public as it is of the Company and
its employees. The sound support of the pub.
