The actual physical property of this Company is worth more than the total securities outstanding. That a dollar’s worth of property exists for every dollar's worth of stock that has been issued, has been proved beyond all doubt by hundreds of impartial investigations by commissions and governing bodies. The Bell System Is conceded to be the best constructed and best equipped telephone system in existence, yet the capitalization of the Company is less per telephone than that of any other comprehensive telephone system in the world.
