WHAT’S AHEAD
“We have just finished a busy year in the tele-
phone business in Texas,” Mr. Goodson says.
"We’ve been planning ahead for many months. A
large amount of the money we spend will go into
building new facilities, and the remainder will be
spent to improve present service. We believe
strongly in the future of Texas, and were moving

NUMBER OF TELEPHONES DOUBLED
Since 1945, the number of telephones in Texas
has doubled. There are now more than two million
. telephones serving the social and business needs
of the state, and 91 per cent of the telephones are
dial telephones.
L ong Distance circuits in Texas have increased
150 per cent since 1945. Equipment permitting
. operators to dial long distance calls have been in-
OUR NEW FRONTIER
The Lone Star State has had its share of excite-
ment in the past. It was born of revolution, grew
up with the cattle and oil industries‘maturedLand

that lies ahead has greater promise than habthe
frontier of the past.

this telephone expansion. This expenditure has
contributed to Texas’ growth and employment.
There are now 26,000 telephone people in Texas,
and the annual payroll is $103 million. Telephone
taxes paid to local, state, and Federal governments
have almost doubled. ,
“Despite this growth- there are still some fam--------
ilies waiting for telephones and for better grades
of service. We are keenly aware of these folks.
and we are doing everything in our power to bring
them service as quickly as possible," Mr. Goodson
points eut.
dtrstry. also. Our mit winters mean that builcITfig^, L

tion is excellent, and the enthusiasm_and confi-
dence dTTe?xans just naturally attracts industry.
Part of our job is to see to it that no industry de-
“cidesnor to come to Texas because of the lack of
- good communications.”

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS
Mr. Goodson supports his opinion of the future
of Texas with solid evidence. The industrial pro-
duction of Texas is several times greater than ten
years ago, and all economic factors are favorable.
"Population has increased 12.25 per cent in the
past five years,” Mr. Goodson says, “and we be-
lieve there will be 9.600.000 people in Texas
in 1960.
--- "Only in six states have expenditures for indu?-
AriaT expansion been greater Than in Texas. In fact,
the expenditure per capita on industrial expansion
sin
equal to new industries
As Mr. Goodson says: “We are impressed when
newindustrymovesrintothe state.ndrightiyso.
It means more jobs, more payroll, more business
for merchants-and manufacturers Bui we some-
times forget that the best growth comes from
within — from established, aggressive companies
that think ahead and invest in the future. That’s
why we say that the $760 million postwar tele-
phone expansion program is equal to the effect
of several new, large industries moving into
the state.”
As Mr. Goodson says, "As a Texan, I’d say
Texas is facing its most interesting and challeng-
ing yean. The prospects are,bright. That’s why
the telephone company in 1956 will undertake
the largest telephone construction program in the
history of Texas."

New industries are locating in Texas. Mr. Good-
son points out, because they like the climate, the
resources, and the people.
“Industry has found ready, forward-looking,
conscientious people in Texas,” Mr. Goodson
says. "The climate in Texas is aturctive to in-

tome of the thinking behind 1956 telephone expansion plans. This is the first in a series
of features by Don Davis-to keep you informed on the telephone company’s plans in Texas.
” e re investing in the future of Texas. This
state has good climate, unlimited natural re
sources, and progressive, hard-working, deter-
mined people. That’s a rare combination, and
were convinced that Texas is on the threshold
of its brightest years.”
These are the words of R. A. Goodson, general
manager of Southwestern Bell Telephone Com-
pany in Texas. --
- By“investinginthefutureofTeWS.’*Mr.Good-
son means this: In 1956, the telephone company
is going to spend $106 million gross on new tele-
phone construction in Texas — the largest single
year’s expansion and improvement program in
Texas telephone history.
