Today with all the world waiting in the shadow of a mighty con flict, our country looms large on the horizon of nations as an example of the popular faith in the underlying principles of the republic whosa birth the old Liberty Bell echoed around the globe. The American ideas of government, of personal and business mor. ality and of honest and honorable commercial methods that had their beginning when the forefathers created the nation, shine out gloriously as the policy that has produced a nation such as the world has never known before a democracy, a civilization, a commercial supremacy that has challenged the admiration of the world. When the Liberty Bell rang out freedom through the land, this nation was a loosely united confederation of thirteen states; today we are truly one people in all that our forefathers, in their most exalted moments, meant by that phrase. In making us a homogeneous people the telephone has been an important factor. It has facilitated communication and intervisiting, bringing us closer together, giving us better understanding and pro moting more intimate relations. The need that the telephone should be nation-wide is just as great as that there should be a common language. This need ha3 been defined by the Bel System. With long distance lines reaching 70,000 places, 12,000 more than have post offices, and with 65 per cent of all the telephones in the world in this country, the telephone is truly an American institution. The Bell Telephone has made this continent a community. Wherever the Story of the Liberty Dell is Known, the Blue Bell Sign it Seen. NEBRASKA TELEPHONE COMPANY
