The five states of Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas have more telephones than all Great Britain. The City of New York has more telephones than all of Franco and Spain combined. Chicago" has more telephones than all of Austria. iie Cost of Operating The telephone companies in this country pay double the wages for the same kind of work that is paid in Europe, and telephone equipment costs a great deal more here. Fully half of the European telephone exchanges are closed at night and on Sundays and holidays. It is the general rule in this country to give all night and all-day Sunday telephone service, When the efficiency of the service and- the cost of producing, it is considered, American local and long distance telephone rates are by far the low est in the world.
