THE TEXAS A!LMANAr- 199'
'Two minutes faster - and
Texas saves 59 years!
N 1926, the average time required to
handle a long distance call in Texas
was 5 minutes. In 1927 it was only about
3 minutes.
Two minutes on each of the 15,500,000
long distance calls placed in Texas in
1927 totals 59 years- 59 years saved for
telephone users in Texas!
This improvement in speed of service is
due chiefly to the Bell Laboratories and
the Bell System headquarters in New York,
where 5,000 people are engaged wholly in
solving telephone problems. it is largely
through their efforts that we are able to
carry out our policy of providing you
with a continually improving service, al-
ways at a reasonable cost.
