The Associated Bell Companies ONE POLICY—-UNIVERSAL SERVICE—ONE SYSTEM LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE be Telephones VERY day brings a new use—a new requirement. It is the Tele- phone’s Burden not only to keep pace with business development, but to camp constantly a little across the frontier. Can you imagine a city, as cities once existed, made up of several “quarters,” to each of which was confined a population which spoke a separate language? You, as the average citizen, would be forced to learn several languages, or to go about the city with an interpreter—a process that would seriously interfere with your business. If, instead of using different languages, the people of a city used different telephone systems, the result would be exactly the same. You would have to keep each par- ticular brand of telephone. It is nobody's fau/t that this is so. The Bell companies are not responsible for the fact that a nation’s convenience demands the use of one telephone system, any more than they are that one language for a nation is better than a collection of pro- vincial dialects. ‘The associated Bell companies, with their singleness of purpose and unity of service, are responsible, however, for doing their utmost to provide the system that wholly fits Burden this recognized condition—that prevents the endless and expensive confusion of many systems. The Telephone’s Burden is to embrace in one comprehensive system all that a city, or the whole country, needs in the way of telephone service. This has made the telephone universal. It has brought you the greatest possible number of subscribers with whom to talk. It has been flexibility of the Bell manage- ment that has secured the most reasonable rates in the world for an adequate telephone service, and made it universal. This progress would be impossible in the future if the flexibility of management were made inflexible by unwise interference. The widespread work of development and maintenance carried on by 80,000 employes should clear your mind of doubt, if any exists, that the associated Bell companies are working with and for the public, striving by the most progressive methods to provide a telephone service at a reasonable price that will take your voice anywhere that your thought goes, or your friend goes, or your letter will travel. The Bell service is diligently keeping pace with the country’s progress, in full knowledge of existing conditions and the necessities of the future, American Telephone & Telegraph Company Hotel des Champs Elysées, 3 and 5 rue Balzac, Paris.
