Operator Need
Is Still Great

Dial telephone service was first
introduced in 1921 when it became
apparent that there soon wouldn't
be enough qualified women to
operate the growing number of
switchboardS.
Yet there are far more operators
on duty now than there were back
in 1921.
JIM. Dorsey, District Manager for
Southern Bell, explained this by
saying that long distance service
plus the continuing need for good
manual service has more than off
set the conversion of three out of
every your us. telephones to dali.
To meet the continuing demand,
Bell System technicians are work
ing to extend the advantages of
dial operation to long distance
service.
The Mason Dixon line, surveyed
in 1855, is still the traditional
boundary between North and South
in the United States.

Goodbye To Hello

Dial service means the end Of
the "voice with a smile" at Key
West switchboards to great ex-
tent-a fact that some customers
view with regret.

Southern Bell, said this week
that in some places customers
have been actually sorry to see
the manual service 60 and with
it the personal attention to this
type of telephone calls.
This Partially to the courteous

Basic Policy
Still Workable
After Is Years

Twenty-Five years have passed
since the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, parent firm of
the Bell System, first stated public
ly the basic policy which has guild
ed its telephone companies In serv-
ing the nation.
This policy Is "to continue 10
furnish The best possible fele-
phone service at The lowest cost
consistent with financial safety
and with fair treatment Of en-
pIoyses."
This historic statement recogniz-
ed the Bell Systems responsibility
to treat equitably and fairly the
three great groups Of people most
concerned; customers, stockholders
and employees.
]. N. Dorsey, District Manager
for Southern Bell, said this week
that this three-fold policy has
guided the firms every action in
GLIDING the decision to install dial
telephones at Key West.
Telephone people have not only
been able to make service here
and elsewhere more valuable, but
they have managed to pay divi-
dends regularly to more than one
million shareowners of company
stock who have invested their
savings in the business. And, at the
same time, they have made the
telephone business known the
nation over as q good place to
work."
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1952-12-06

In January, 1S45, Key West had
1895 telephones. In the period
since World War u, fhe city has
seen its greatest growth both In
population and in telephones. To.
day, there are more than $500
telephones serving fhe netropoIi-
tan area, and the demand for
additional telephones is inereas-
ing.
Southern Bell moved to It's pre-
sent location in 1917 and took over
a building existing on the site.
The building was enlarged in 1920
and has served until the present
expansion program.
Last year the Company en-
novneed that the new dial sYs-
tenn would be installed and that
the existing building would under
90 extensive alterations with .
large new building TO be con-
sfrUcted to adioin il. This work
has now been completed and the
entire structure has been air.
conditioned.
Cost of this construction work,
together with the new dial equip
ment and work incident to provid-
ing the improved facilities, has
been set at over $1,OOO,0OO. This
expenditure is only a part of the
large amounts spent by Southern
Bell since World War II to ex-
pand and improve service for Key
West telephone users. Expansion
and improvement activities by the
Company in Florida, for the post
war period have involved the ex-
penditure of more than $127, 900,
600.
Key West telephone development
has been rapid, but Southern Bell
expects the future to bring con-
tinuing heavy need for telephone
facilities and is making plans to
meet these reeds.

First Phones
We're Strictly
For Business
Still OF Immense
Value In Home
And Industry

When the telephone was first In.
vented, it was used primarily as
an instrument of business. As tele-
phone lines spread over the coun-
try and new developments were
put into use, the telephone got
wider usage and found its way
into American homes as an instru-
ment of necessity to better living.
However, one Of IFS main uses
is still in business. The grocer
fills daily orders from custom.
ers over the telephone; many re.
tail businesses sell thousands Of
dollars worth of goods to feIe-
phone customers; and industry
keeps in contact with branches
throughout fhe world because of
this instrument.
The value of the telephone to
business is immense. Mr.. Smith
can place a call to MIR. Jones in
New York and tell what prices the
good he is selling are bringing at
precise hour or minute. He can
order goods, and know immediate
ly whether or not they are avail
able, and what can be substituted.
He may have extensions placed
strategically throughout his bust
ness or plant. so that he can keep
in constant touch with the opera
ton. If he is manufacturing, he
can tell exactly whether or not
production is smooth; or if there is
a bottleneck, he knows immediate
ly and can eliminate it all
through the telephone.
There are other services pro-
vided to business. The teletype.
writer service enables him to fill
orders, give orders, and keep In
touch with other branches by
writing them over the wire.
This allows him to have all
messages in writing to insure
complete files in cas-. he ever
needs TO refer to them.
There are many similar factors
which make the telephone i'm
portant to business operation. For
that reason, you'll find few bust
nesses today which are not Deepen
dent on the telephone for the con-
duct of their business.

NewEquiipment
Produced By
Western Flee.
Bell System Owns
Dependable Source
OF Materials Now

New telephone equipment in Key
West, from the shiny black dial
instruments in homes and offices
here, to the intricate switching
equipment in the new central of
flee building was manufactured
by the Western Electric Company.
Western Electric, the manufac-
turing and supply unit of the Bell
System, was purchased in 1882 be-
cause it assured the growing tele-
phone industry of dependable
source of standardized, high quail
ty equipment at reasonable prices,
Western has factories operating
in II cities and also maintains a
nationwide system of % distrubu-
ting houses, stocked with the
thousands of items the telephone
companies need from day to day.
When an emergency strikes, these
telephone ''supermarkets" can
rush supplies to the scene of disas-
ter in matter of hours. Western
also maintains a large, careful
trained force of men to install the
telephone central office equipment
it manufactures.
These factories turned out some
10000 different parts in whatever
quantities needed by the Tele-
phone System. Large amounts Of
equipment and supplies which Wes-
tern does not make are purchased
from other business concerns. In
a recent year. Western Electric
purchased from $1,000 large and
small suppliers located in $500
towns and cities in all the 4s
states. 1t also made purchases in
many foreign lands.
