HOW MARY CALLS

SOOTH CAROLIHA MADE THIS YEAR
At Telephone Tommy points oat, SouttwCaroIinians did a
whale of a lot of talking from January through November
of this year. 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".
