If You Owned
the Telephone Company?
Suppose you bought the telephone company today, how would
you run it ?

How would you decide what the standards of service should
- be, what rates to charge and what wages to pay. and how much
money to lay aside for rebuilding the plant as parts of it wear
out ?
You would, no doubt, try to give the best service you could
under existing war-time conditions.
You would want to charge enough for service to pay your em
ployees fair wages, to keep the property in good repair and earn
as much on your money as you would receive if it were invested in
any other business involving equal risk.
In these times of high prices and scarcity of labor and
materials, and in the face of other war-time conditions, don't you
think you would have "some job" on your hands ?
When yon feel provoked if there are occasional defects in the
telephone service or feel that our policies or practices are wrong,
we'll appreciate it if you will tell us about it and let us talk
things over.
