Employees as toek!il?Jfs
There aro about 150,000 employees in the Bell
Telephone System. More than 30,000 employees,
or practically one in five, aro stockholders.
Thousands of girl operators, linemen and
clerks have subscribed for stock under an easy
payment plan recently adopted by the Company.
Including employees, there are nearly 100,000
stockholders in the Bell Telephone System, or one
to every thousand persons in the United States.
Who the Shareholders Are
In many cases stock subscribed for by em
ployees is being paid for a little each month. The
plan of buying stock this way aids employees to
save their money as well as to become part owners
of the Company for which they work.
Aside from employees, the majority of stock
holders in the Bell System are women.
Yale and Harvard, and other colleges and pub
lic institutions, have part of their endowment
funds invested in Bell Telephone stock.
