Telephone service, a public trust An Advertisement of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company Tue widespread owner- ship of the Bell Telephone System places an obliga- tion on its management toguard the savings of its hundreds of thousands of stockholders. Its responsibility for so large a part of the country’s tele- phone service imposes an obli- gation that the service shall always be adequate, depend- able and satisfactory to theuser. The only sound policy that will meet these obligations is to continue to furnish the best pos- sible service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. There is then in the Bell System noincentive toearn speculative or large profits. Earnings must be suffi- cient to assure the best possible service and the financial integ- rity of the business. Anything in excess of these requirements goes toward extending the ser- e or keeping down the rates. This is fundamental in the policy of the company. The Bell System’s ideal is the same as that of the public it serves—the most telephone ser- viceand the best, at theleast cost tothe user. It accepts its respon- sibility for a nation-wide tele- phone service as a public trust. Better drives with Reddy Tees. They adjust easily to proper height. They stay put. Sold everywhere.
