It is difficult to measure the value of Bell Telephone
service to you. With our splendid local service and
excellent long distance connections, the telephone ser
vice means much to the progress and continued growth
of -Alliance.
The Bell Telephone, with service from town to town,
reaching a few miles or a thousand as the subscriber
cares to talk, means a great deal to your comfort, con
venience and pleasure.
We believe in the future of Alliance and of Western ,
Nebraska, and we have supported our confidence in
its increasing development by heavy investments
throughout this part of the state.
We have given Alliance and our system through
out Western Nebraska the best possible local and
long distance service and we expect to give it
the advantages of every improvement that may
be made.
You Can Depend on Bell Telephone Toll Service
Bell Telephone toll lines are the important links
that bind the many telephone exchanges into one vast,
universal Bell System. They bridge great distances
and overcome the isolation that "local service" alone
could not prevent.
Long distance circuits are the all-important lines
that make Bell Telephone subscribers neighbors,
whether they live in the city or in the country,
within a few blocks of each other or hundreds of
miles apart.
There are more than two million miles of Bell toll
lines in this country or enough to reach eighty
times around the world. These lines connect 70,000
towns throughout the nation, 10,000 of which are
without a railroad and 5,000 without a post office.
Every effort is made to have Bell Telephone toll
service dependable, .because when storms or disaster
blocks the railways, when mail is delayed and transpor
tation stopped, the need of Bell Telephone toll service
"service everywhere all the time," is keenly felt.
Our toll lines are built in a most substantial manner
to withstand bad weather and storms. They run as
straight as possible from point to . point through the
sparsely settled sections and avoid the busy streets
of the cities where there would be likelihood of in
terruption of service.
Bell Telephone lines carry the thoughts and wishes
of the entire people from room to room, from house to
house, from state to state, by means of a system of com
prehensive and universal telephone communication.
