10000 Shares, Worth Ap-
; proximateIy $6, 600, 900.

More than $4,000 shares Of Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph stock,
worth approximately s6.oO0.00o, is
now held by residents Of the District
of Columbia. 1t was announced
today. .. ',.,r +. -.a,
Since the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company began It's educa.
tional campaign on the subject OF
this stock with the sole purpose OF
securing a wider distribution, the
number of shareholders in Washing
ton now total 2, 400, exclusive OF EN-
ployes of the Telephone company, ;,
who have purchased shares on the
partial payment plan. A year ago!
there were about $50 stockholders
in the District of Columbia. =, -
The telephone company had moth
ing to sell when Il began to call at
tention to the American Telephone
and Telegraph stock, which was
then selling st S109, or thereabcuts.'
1t simply called attention to the ex-
cellent opportunity to invest in a.
Bell system thought was thoroughly
safe and profitable. .,..
Seek Wide Distribution. -.
The stock has been purchased on
the market at the daily price, az
there was no treasury stock for, sale.
The aim OF the Bell system was to
get as many people interested in
owning the telephone company as
possible, and the result Is that the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company has the greatest number
of stockholders. No other cor
poration has as many owners, and
the average holding Is twenty-nine
shares. There is no large ownership
in any individual.
Ii Is interesting to know, however,
that before the campaign for wider
distribution was launched the greater
part OF the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company stock has been
held by people residing in a small
group Of States. Nearly one.half OF
the entire amount OF stock was held
in Massachusetts,. The officials Of the
Bell system, believing that a more
equitable distribution of the share
holders and stock would resultfn the
betterment OF both the public and
the service. the company turned TO
Its own subscribers as the first por-
tion OF the public to interest," 1t
was put up to them that telephone
user who purchased stock in the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company becomes part owner in
the Bell system. Customer owner.
ship was looked on as very desir-
able thing and the effort to secure
a wide distribution of stock BY this
means has been consistently carried
on In all parts of the United States
with the most satisfactory results.
2I5,000 Stockholders.
The rise in the price Of the stock
may be attributed to some degree
at least to the purchases made as the
result of the telephone company's
effort to secure a wide distribution.
There are now more than 215,00a
stockholders of the American Tele.
phone and Telegraph Company, and
the number is increasing: daily.
Indications are that the American,
Telephone and Telegraph Company
and the Bell system generally is GO
ing to continue its efforts to get
the widest distribution possible, thus
making the public It serves--the
users Of the telephone--the owners
OF the system. =

weeks later it was 36 below and it has
been zero weather | should say nearly
half Of the time, although it has been
fine sleighing most of the time and fine
sunny days.
Today is the first of March and il
was 10 below zero here this morning
and the wind was high all through the
night and piled the snow high in
places. Ii probably will be good
sleighing the rest of this month. There
hasn't been a heavy fall Of snow this
winter. about two feet, / should say.
II is hard to estimate the depth of the
snow because it has drifted so much.
