there are 100000 miles of wire carrying more than 100000 long dis.
lance messages every day in America. Still enthraled by the thrill of
the radio and other spectacular inventions W re have given scant attention
to the amazing changes and improvements in the telephone service in
this country. The common practice of getting a far distant city o the

is a triumph of telephone service. Much of the entertainment that you
get over the radio is brought most of the way by telephone.
