American men are noted for their
business intelligence. The aim OF
what In called American business
methods" is 90 do things IN the short
est time. for the least money and TO
tho greatest practical perfection.

hand. are famous for their casual
attitude toward money. "Of
course Jnck scoIds--n~n always
do. Hut he pays the bills. 40
what does n natter" they all
too frequently say.
Just as there are essentials OF good
management IN the mans world Of
business. 30 the woman's world. the
home. has certain standards for eff
Client administration. These essen
tlnin are. in fact. practically the
same. and the woman who applies

The Facts of the Telephone
Situation in Mississippi
CUMBERLAND TELEGRAPH COMPANY
The Service Situation
stEpHONE & 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 facii-
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 Mississippi.
