COSTS ARE UP!

OUSAS AAtE DADS
There, in three words, is the basic reason
why the telephone service we provide must be
repriced
The cost of practically everything that goes
into operating the telephone business has gone
up. Today, our total expenses are two and
half times as much as they were in 1910. Pay
roll, which represents more than half of our
operating expenses, is more than three times
what it was in 1910.
True, our revenues have gone up, too. But not
enough to balance rising costs
To illustrate:
While revenues per telephone
have increased per cent since
1910, expenses per telephone
haze gone up 25 per cent.
EARNINGS ARE DOWN!
AS a result, our earnings have gone down at a
sharp and continuing rate in the last year i. i.
and are continuing to decline.
Earnings per telephone are
81 per cent beIO,U 1910.
The return on our plant investment-lan and
buildings, wire and cable, central office equip
ment and telephones today is at the lowest
Milford chronicle., 1948-12-10

level since 1920 j. lower even than during
the depression years.
Since 1910, we have added over
S8,OOO,OOO to our plant invest
ment. Yet our earnings in 1913
1OiU be practically the same as
they lUere in 1910.
In face of these facts, we must, in order to
meet public demand, make further additions
to our plant, totaling nearly 100000 in the
next few years. The COmpany's earnings can
not provide the funds for such expansion. The
major portion of this vast amount must be
financed by the investment of new money in
this business, which can only be attracted if
earnings are adequate.
EARNINGS MUST BE ADEQUATE!
The growth of telephone system must keep
pace with the requirements of the people it
serves. Only financially healthy telephone
company can provide the quantity and the
quality Of telephone service that everyone has
every right to expect.
But only with earnings that are adequate to
assure safety and fair return on the money
invested in the business can new money be
attracted to assure future growth.
1t is clearly in the public interest that earnings
be adequate to accomplish this.

LOOK THE NEW LOOK"

NEW YORK (CNS) - We
caught Fifth Avenue shopper
buying the new styled pumps in
an exclusive shop. "My," she ex-
claimed excitedly, "Now I really
have on the New Look!"
But alas, how far she was
from it; How we wanted to walk
over and tell her a simple SEN
tencet-hat the new styles are
more than hat, dress or a
pair Of shoes.
It's revolution in dressing-a
whole NEW way of looking-of
acting-of living. The change is
SO radical that absolutely nothing
made or manufactured in the
past 5 years is in style today
F'instance the petticoats are now
taking top fashion news. The
wide summer-cool dresses must
have the highly starehed petit
coas are no longer conventional
shades Of black, pink and white
Nowadays when the naughty
wind swishes up a young lady's
dress, the wolves will be sur
prised to see long petticoats
trimmed with lace or scallops-'
and in varied colors of plaid,
check, pastels or definite greens
and yellows.
