~@NTIZATIONS separated by centuries meet
" and mingle when the Telephone first comes
to the Border town. Indians whose ancestors watched
in wonder the coming of the steel-clad Spaniards unite
with frontiersmen In keeneyed interest in the raising
of poles and the stringing of wires. Where Coronado
once marched, the telephone crew is establishing an out
post. Presently their work is done. The ISOLATION OF
miles of sage-dotted desert is swept away. The lele-
phone has reached new frontier. y Ut is thus that the
history of the Telephone in America has been written
and is being written today. Each social or economic
change, by creating new telephone needs, creates a new
frontier. For fifty years the Bell System has been
meeting these needs, has been pushing forward to
these new frontiers. Year by year, in response to the
nation ever-increasing demands, it has made its service
more extensive, more economical, more efficient. 1t
has grown because growth has been one of the obliga-
lions of service. 1t has created a nationwide network
of facilities for communication by the spoken word be-
cause nothing less could have satisfied Americas re-
quirements. q The obligation of telephone growth is
one that must continue as long as national growth
creates new national needs. This obligation the Bell
System has undertaken. 1t has dedicated the efforts
of the years TO come to the reaching OF the fufures new
frontiers.
