What Is The Telephone Company?

T T is an organization Of 2097 West Virginia men and
women banded together to give the people Of West
a Virginia The best telephone service brains and ener-
gy and effort can make possible.
These people-nany Of whom have dedicated their
lives TO this aervice-arc nearly all natives Of this State.
They arc citizens Of your cities and to%ns-they are
your n~eighbors and fricnds.
The telephone is a regulated utility; the price Of our
service is controlled by state regulation. Our revenues
being regulated, our expenses must be held in proportion.
Al no time during recent years, did our wages keep pace
with those Of other industries,
That condition still exists. But in spite Of this lin1i-
tation and the cxacting requirements Of war and recon
struction, West Virginia 5 telephone people arc now Civ
ing you a higher grade Of service than at any time in the
history of the system.
