Ford is the only Automobile
Manufacturer Building Cars
and Trucks in Texas
of material and supplies from Texas merchants and
manufacturers and paid over $7,500,000 for incom-
ing and outgoing transportation. Then, too, there
is a total of over $148,000 paid by Ford in local
and State taxes.
in Your Future!^
All THE FORDS made are not built in Detroit. There
are plenty of them built right here in Texas—last
year over 128 million dollars worth of cars, trucks,
parts and products were made at Ford’s Dallas
Assembly Plant. What’s more, 1,722 Texans put
them together or followed through with their con-
signment to dealers in the Dallas, Houston, Okla-
homa City and New Orleans Sales Districts.
The folks who work in Ford’s Dallas Assembly
Plant and District Sales Offices earn over $7,000,000
every year. They spend it mostly in Texas. Texas
benefits from Ford in other ways, too. For example:
during 1950 Ford bought over $ 1,000,000’s worth
Yes, Texas is building a lot of cars and trucks for
Ford . . . and in the process Ford is helping to build
Texas, too!

MUCH HAS BEEN DONE IN 1950 TO BUILD
A STRONGER, BETTER TELEPHONE SYSTEM
IN TEXAS

if
Growth Is Expensive...Gross construction cost in Tex-
as last year was $82,623,000. That’s an average of $84.31
for each of the 980,000 people in all walks of life whose
help we must have to pay for expansion and improve-
ment of telephone service—the people who have invest-
ed their savings in the telephone system.
WE CAN’T STOP GROWING NOW
The need for telephone growth is far from satisfied. It
is imperative that we meet fully the service demands
for defense, both military and industrial. Now, as never
before, improved telephone company earnings are im-
portant—for only adequate earnings can attract new in-
vestment money needed to expand the telephone system.
Telephone Installers Were Busy... connecting 557,650
telephones during the year, an average of one every 57
seconds. Back of this activity was a rapidly growing
telephone system. Fifty-three new buildings were com-
pleted or started . . . enough dial and switchboard
equipment was installed to serve 146,000 telephones
. . . 131,000 telephone poles were placed . . . more than
1,164,000 miles of wire were added to the system.
