PHONE USERS URGED TO
BECOME SHAREHOLDERS
District Manager Bardo Says
There 10 an Advantage
In This.

r.. y. Pardo, district manager, OF
tho Diamond State Telephone Co. Is
sending personal letters 10 telephone
subscribers In this district urging
their purchase OF the shares OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Co.
ut In becoming more and more evil
dent every day" Mr.. Bardo says. that
II is very desirable that the users OK
public utilities services ehould be In
terested aa investors In the companies
that render the service. A widespread
ownership OF this sort In the cornmu-
mites served leads TO sympathetic
understandinggon the part OF the users
OF such service of the problems and
difficulties with which the utility COM
pa MES are confronted from time to
time. resulting In more cordial rela-
tions between tho purveyors OF the
service and their patrons. Probably
the strongest argument lies In the
great desirability Of the profits from
conducting the public utilities services
| In the community remaining In that
community for the benefit OF It's own
citizens, instead OF being taken away
from the community for the benefit
OF stockholders located in other parts
OF the country. One o, the recent de-
velopments of this idea OF widespread
local ownership of the shares OF the
public utilities by their patrons, has
| been n proposition that every user OF
the telephone. for example, ought "a
own enough stock of the telephone
company to pay his telephone bills out
of the dividends on his stock.
"The advantages OF habits of saving
and thrift have become generally rec
ognized. one OF the very best ways tc
accumulate substantial completeness u
to select high-grade. conservative Sc.
curitles. and buy them upon some easy
payment plan.
The American Telephone and Tele
graph Co. directly or indirectly, owns
the entire capital stock of the loca
