The Facts of the Telephone
Situation in Louisiana
By EpPs Brown PreSdn
COMPANY
Why Telephone Material Is So Scarce

The telephone material supply situation
IL always one of factory capacity, labor,
raw materials and transportation.
Prior to August, 1914, the supply Of raw
materials; the manufactured output; labor
and transportation, was adequate. As a
result prices were low and deliveries
prompt.
From June. 1916, to April. 1917, (when
this country entered the war; prices aver
aged an advance Of nearly 100 per cent and
deliveries became intolerably slow.
Raw materials for telephone purposes are
obtained from all parts of the world.
Platinum, used in switchboards, came
from Russia.
Silk, used in vast quantities for insulat-
Ing wires, comes from Japan.
Old MANILA rope, used in making paper
Tor Insulating wires in cables, comes from
the wharves Of the world
Diamonds, used in drawing out fine wire
Tor use In switchboards, came from Europe.
Many other illustrations could be given
These foreign sources Of raw materials
supply were eliminated during the period
Of the European war and are now far be-
low normal.
Lead, copper, iron and tin, used in large
quantities in the manufacture of telephone
equipment and materials, are also essential
for the making Of munitions. The war
greatly reduced the available amount of
raw materials and lessened the telephone
manufacturers production.
Strikes in Industrial centers which fur
nished the raw materials, and strikes and
embargoes on railroads essential to trans
portation Of both raw materials and the fin
ished products, are prime factors in the
present shortage IN telephone materials and
facilities.
The factories Of our suppliers have ca
pacity for much larger output, but strikes,
shortage Of productive labor, lack Of fuel,
shortage Of transportation facilities and
embargoes affecting the sources Of raw ma
terials, have greatly interfered with their
possible output.
Today, with prices higher than war
prices, the demand greater than ever
known. current production Is far lass than
the demand, being approximately 40 per
cent below the average, with deliveries slow
and uncertain.
In the face Of this condition the demand
Tor telephone service has increased and con-
tinues to increase enormously.
To meet this demand all available sur
plus facilities and materials were gradual
~ but constantly put into use.
When the United States entered the war
In 1917, the Government needs were. of
course, given precedence and only q small
part Of the available raw materials manu-
featured from that date until the signing
OF the armistice was allotted to telephone
companies.

This was true even during 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
10 small and the needs Of the telephone
companies in this country SO great, that all
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
cillties to the pre-war status.
The equipment and material required by
Ems Company to complete its 1920 con-
struction program, will equal 1.40O car
loads Of freight, averaging 10000 pounds
C the car, hauled from different parts Of
places in the five states in which the Com
pany operates. This is equal to thirty-fvs
trains OF an average of forty cars per train,
or $4,000 tons Of materials.
Every business man knows what this
means.
Freight shipments from the industrial
centers Of the North and East ordinarily
"eAe ueHveIcO WItnln TWO or three weeks
now much longer time is required.
The Western Electric Company is the
largest manufacturer Of telephone equip
ment and materials in the world. Il has
representatives in al the markets of the
world: 1t buys its raw materials in vast
Quantities at the lowest possible prices.
The Western Electric Company furnishes
this Company with the bulk of it's equip
ment and materials and acts ~ our Supply
Agent.
II did not accept any contracts from any
foreign government prior to the date the
United States entered the war and only
than 1t the instance of the United States
Government. It thus held itself in readi-
ness to serve at It's maximum efficiency the
needs Of the telephone industry in this
country.
It has . capacity for . much larger out
put, but strikes, shortage Of productive Ia
Dor, lack OF fuel and shortage Of transpor-
tation, facilities affecting the securing Of
adequate raw materials--has curtaied it,
output.
We have not relied entirely on the West
ern Electric Company, but have placed or
ders with other manufacturers where they
could promise deliveries. Each manufac-
turer with whom we have placed orders is
confronted with the same problems in Sc
curing his supply Of raw materials.
In the face Of all these difficulties the
manufacturers are turning out in excess Of
what was their normal output.

Is Malaria Sapping Your
Strength And
Vitality

Physicians claim that malaria is
the cause of more disease than any
malady known-chills and fever, ma
larial fever, bilious fever, loss of ap-
petite and energy, drowsiness, etc.
If malaria (chills and fever) is
keeping you down get bottle of Am
eco and begin taking right now.
Ameco is better than quinine for
malaria, chills and fever.
Ameco kills the malaria germ.
A few doses break the fever, and
when taken as a tonic, the fever will
not return.
That dreaded chill day disappears
from the moment you begin taking
Ameco.
Ameco will also cure any ordinary
cold in "a hours.
Contains no harmful drugs and is
