Fact it, more local and long distance calls were made than in any other similar period in the entire history of the telephone in South Carolina. We wish you could have seen the rush of these calls through our telephone exchanges. They made the signal lights dance across our switchboards with such speed and ■parkle as to turn the lights on Broadway green with envy. You might have felt that with so many calls being handled, the telephone folks were making mone;y because of the war. The best way for Telephone Tommy to prove the company did not profit by the war is to tell you this startling fact. And that is “telephone earnings in 1945 will be the lowest in the company’s history, except for the worst of the depression years". This is because our expenses—wages, taxes, cost of materials, cost of services—increased at a greater rate than our revenues. /f 4 T 1 V - i Telephone people, however, were glad to be busy handling South Carolina’s calls. They were not,concerned primarily with figures. Instead these 2,320 busy South Carolinians were concerned with service—getting your calls through and seeing that lines were kept in order. They knew their job was to serve you well and with a pleasant "thank you". E. H. WASSON, CMtolints Mnn*get' SO'jmM BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY INCOSeOKATIS I <1
