The number of Southern Bell-operated farm telephones in' Dixie was increased by more than four times from 1935 to 1942 Jvhen war interrupted our rural telephone expansion program. Since 1942, vast: amounts of communication equipment have been and are still being manufactured for shipment to our fight ing meai, and we cannot resume our farm telephone expansion i until after manpower and material again become available. In the meantime, we are farthering oar efforts to provide in creased and improved post-war farm telephone service through par research work and experience gained in new methods of construction, transmission and new developments in the art of , o communication. Southern BdTs post-war rural development program is part of the Bell System's one hundred million dollar program to ektend and improve farm telephone service of the future. And every reasonable and practicable step is bein- taken to advance this program at rapidly as possible. Southern Brl Telephone and Telegraph Company INCOIPORATID *»- iXXfc. \
