The Facts of the Telephone
Situation in Louisiana
The Service Situation
Ry J. EPPs BROWN, President
CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY
Incorporated

Telephone service should be adequate, eff
ficient and dependable; sufficient in guam
tity, satisfactory in quality and furnished
without interruption.
Adequate service is dependent upon ade-
quate facilities.
Efficient service is dependent upon a suf-
ficient number of trained employees to
maintain and operate the facilities.
Dependable service is dependent upon
both adequate facilities and trained forces.
The facilities are paid for with the money
invested in the business. Trained forces
are paid with the money paid to the Com
pany by the public for the service furnished.
In no other way can these essential req
uisites of service be had. The needed facil-
tiles are never paid for out of the earnings
Of the company, and the employees are
never paid out of the capital of the COM
pany.
Subsequent statements will show what
the Company has done to meet its obliga-
tion to furnish both facilities and forces.
Everyone knows that this Company's
service has been dependable. Throughout
the war and in spite of strikes and the most
abnormal conditions ever known our serv-
ice was furnished without interruption.
While the service now is not adequate to
meet the unprecedented demand, due to
causes which will be given later, the facts
show that the Company is now furnishing
far greater quantity Of service than ever
before.
The following figures show the service
furnished within the State of Louisiana.

1920 Is mo.) $3.50 2,519 8,447
During 1919 the net gain was 254 per
cent greater than the average gain for the
four previous years. If the rate of net
gain during the first five months Of 1920 is
maintained throughout the year, the 1920
gain will be 293 per cent greater than the
normal average annual gain.
The average number of calls made from
the exchange stations has greatly in
creased so that the Company Is now fur
nishing several hundred thousand more ex-
change messages, from the same number of
telephones, than ever before.

TOLL SERVICE

The volume of foil service during 1919
was az per cent greater than during 1915,
and If the volume of toll service for the
first five months of 1920 is maintained
throughout the year, the volume of toll
service during 1920 will be SO per cent
greater than during 1915.
Does this record entitle this Company to
your support If it does, youl interest de-
mands that you let it be known.
That every one cannot now be served Is
due to the unparalleled demand and the
abnormal conditions of the manufacturer
and means of transportation; all of which
will be shown.

SOME SHIPPING FIGURES

In 1910, about 80 per cent of the
foreign commerce of the United
States was carried on in American
ships. In 1919 less than per cent
OF our commerce was carried in
ships bearing the stars and stripes.
Because of the destruction of Brit
ish ships and the capture of German
ships, together with emergency con-
structiOn of merchant ships in the
United States, nearly 20 per cent of
our trade was transported in Amer
lean bottoms in 1919. What the sta,
tistics shall show in 1929 will depend
largely upon the enterprise of Amer
can investors under the encourage
ment of the government. A cooper
alive spirit is necessary to success.

ARMY DOING
GREAT WORK

The Salvation Army is reaching
down into the depths, lifting up fall
en- men and women and putting them
once more on their feet. Human
salvage, which often means soul sal
wage, is their job and they are do
ing it. Not content with lip SER
vice. they call all men brethren and
go about doing good.
The Salvation Army is making an
appeal for money to carry on its
great work. You and you and you
may have the privilege of contribut-
ing to the salvage of the bodies and
souls of your brethren. "Inasmuch

The Red Grenadiers Band and

prelude concert on the fourth at
ternoon and grand concert at night
will be one of the greatest features
of the entire ChautauQua week.
In fact, 1t has been long, indeed,
since Redpath presented on this big
circuit a better or bigger attraction
than this great singing band. Their
concerts will be hailed with enthu-
siasm everywhere. William Maupin
director of the Red Grenadiers, is
one of the well-known band men OF
the United States. A singing band
has always been a wonderfully sue
cessful entertainment attraction.
Combining as it does, instrumental
and vocal features, a singing band
makes an appeal to the entire audi
ence.
The Children's pageant, 1.-THE

that there is only. one man on the
