just released, the telephone company’s
annual report for 1954 tells the story of
58,000 Southwestern Bell people working
together as a team to bring you faster
service, expanded service, courteous
service. Here are some of the things they
did to improve your telephone service.
ON THK “GROWTH” FRONT
Millions of miles of wire were built into
the system, most of it in the form of
stormproof aerial or underground cable.
Telephones in 85 communities were
changed to dial operation. More service,
improved service was brought to rural
areas.
At the year’s end, 200,000 more tele-
phones were in service than in 1953.
More requests for private and two-party
lines were filled than ever before.
DOLLARS AT WORK
Growth like this costs money — $173%
million in 1954. Added to telephone pay-
roll dollars spent locally and the taxes
paid by the company, these “growth’’
dollars contributed much to the pros-
•?Cr perity of cadi of the communities in
. Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma
and Texas served by Southwestern Bell.

I
Last year, you talked more by telephone
than ever before. You made an average of
25 million local call* and half a million Long
Oiitance call* every day—about double
the number of call* jutt ten yean ago.
INVESTMENT, EXPENSES UP
The company took in more motley — bu&
paid out $15 million more than in 1953 for
the expenses of providing good service.
This is to be expected. As more money ~
is invested in new telephone facilities,
the day-to-day costs of operating a larger
system grow.
The balance of expenses against in-
come is watched closely because only a
financially sound telephone company
can keep service growing to meet the
needs of this and hundreds of other com-
munities in the progressive Southwest.
BRIGHT PROSPICTS FOR *55
This year promises to be another good
year for telephone customers. Further
improvements in your service are plan-
ned. Still more homes and businesses will
be added to the growing circle within
reach of your telephone ... molring your
telephone even more valuable.
