5000 people whose sole job is bettering your service An Advertisement of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company Tue very nature of the tele- phone business necessitates a single interconnected system. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company accepts its re- sponsibility for a nation-wide tele- phone service as a public trust. It also accepts responsibility for the safety of the funds invested in it by more than 420,000 persons in every walk of life. From the time of its organization it has never missed paying a regular dividend, so that investors rightly feel assur- ance in providing money for the growth of the business. It is the policy of the company to use all income, beyond that neces- sary to pay regular dividends and maintain a surplus for finan- cial stability, to improve and extend the service. Because of the nature of the business, speculative profits have no place in it. The Bell System maintains in its research, engineering and business staffs and in the Bell Laboratories so0o workers—in a total of 350,000 employces—whose sole occupation is to improve the telephone art and to make these improvements instantly available throughout the nation. These workers are a guaranty of continued progress in furnishing the public a constantly improving tele- phone service at the lowest possible cost. Tee the ball high or low.

More money will take care of the and some of his heat-exhausted friends, or of Katie and some of her tiny cronics, Less, will be gratefully received and will accomplish much good. And when you make out your check to Lire’s Fresh Air Fund and mail it to us at 598 Madison Avenue, New York, you may know that you've done a fine thing, and done something that, doul- less, you've been wanting to do all sum mer. Besides that, you will have our deep. est gratitude, for without you we cans keep up this great work. Doubtless even at this, the eleventh hour, you would have sent Bill and Katie to the Camps.
