A church worker approached a

''How old are We, lassie?" he

can't make any down payment. All the
money must come from investors Il part
from people who lend us money through
purchases of Bell System bonds; the rest
from people who buy stock in the bust
ness and become part owners.
These investors have faith in the future
of the Telephone Company. They entrust
their money to us because they believe
their investments will be safe and will
pay them fair return.
They invest on faith. We spend on
faith. We have faith that people will
always want and need good telephone

fair price for it.

VERY few people who build or buy new
home can pay for all of it in cash out of
their savings.
Most businesses have the same problem.
Some can save enough out of earnings
to expand and improve their plants, but
many must go to investors for construc-
ton money.
In the telephone business the margin
of savings is small even in normal times.
Today the margin is smaller than ever :
insignificant in comparison with the con-
struction expenditures required to meet
public demand for service.
A home builder makes down payment
from savings and borrows the rest. We

 He stated also that 10 percent of the total bid was withheld by the government as per usual til the Project was accepted by the city and the government
 The amount of S16OO was paid and came out of funds which were paid the city by the lesseeS of the Marine Ways. The itemiza- tion of this reads as follows: Atty.
