Brady Denton (above) is the millionth stockholder of the American Telephone and Telegraph company—the only business in the U.S. to achieve such a broad democracy of ownership. Denton, an auto salesman in Saginaw, Mich., is shown with his family learning about a switchboard. Much money used by the Bell Telephone system for research, improvements and expansion has been made available by people, in all walks of life, who see fit to invest in Bell stock. The tre mendous increased demand for phone service has been felt in O’ Neill, too. Since 1943 the O’Neill exchange has grown from 499 to 1,081 subscribers. This unprecedented growth has made necessary the expenditure of large sums of money to keep abreast of the de mand. In 1947 the O’Neill telephone building was enlarged to ap proximately twice its former size and between 1945 and the pres ent time 7 positions of switchboard have been added. In addition to this, toll equipment has been added to handle the increase in long distance calls. Aii of the company owned rural lines have been converted to metallic or 2-wire service from the old 1-wire or ground type service. Also 4 of the rural lines owned by the farmers and ranchers have been changed over to the 2-wire sys tem. It has been necessary to increase personnel from 11 em ployees in 1943 to 28 at present.
