THE ADVANTAGES OF AMERICA

] One of the greatest industrial or
CARNATIONS in the world, typifying the
initiative and inventive genius, is the
American Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany. No other business gives a uni
form service over such large area
of land as the United States This is
one of the great companies that has
believed in publicity and has used
not only the national magazines and
metropolitan daily ewspapers, but has
told its story in the country daily and
weekly newspapers throughout the
land 1t has placed before the Ameri-
can people as no other company has
attempted to do through advertising,
almost every phase of the operation of
its business.
While telephone communication in
European countries has been stag
mating under political management
which killed incentive for invention
and development along this line, the
American telephone system has pro-
crossed to a point where this nation
has many times the number of tele-
phoes to be found in all of the other
countries of the world combined at
much lower rates to customers.
The American system is typical
of real public ownership in that the
money for its development is furnish
ed by hundreds of thousands of stock
holders including customers and en-
ployes in every state in the union.
For the convenience of customers
and to assure good and uniform SER
vice the telephone industry is natur
al monopoly The advantage Of uni
form system as in the United States
is we'll illustrated when compared with
the patchwork telephone systems oper
ated or controlled by dozen different
governments in a dozen different coun
tries of Europe. Those who are prone
to criticize Americas business organi-
