QUIET
on the
Western
front
Th e moon casts oval shad-
ows from reels of cable in
the warehouse yard. New
telephone instruments
mark time upon long store-
room shelves. Thousands of
parts...relays, crossarms,
insulators...wait in Western
Electric warehouses for their
call to service in America's
telephone system.
Tonight... all quiet on
the Western front!
But for how long?
Who can say when dis-
aster will strike ... a fire, a
flood, a storm ... to cripple
some section of the tele-
phone plant?
Perhaps within the hour
heavy trucks will back up to
loading platforms. Bearing
tools and materials they
will roll away to meet re-
pair crews at the trouble
scene.
Disaster strikes...the Bell
System moves to meet it.
Western Electric supplies
high quality, standardized
telephone equipment...
usable in any part of the
nation. Its warehouses in
strategic locations insure
prompt delivery when ma-
terials ar\ needed in a hurry.
That is one reason Amer-
icans in any emergency turn
to the telephone, knowing
they will receive fast, de-
pendable serviee. South-
western Bell Telephone Co.
