The Ascending Cost Of
Giving Telephone Service
■*&%’ ■ ■****#« *m ^rr~w
■ms ' * •1 •• ■" . ? -* ■
While the cost of most of the necessities of life
has been going up for the past three years, the price of
telephone service has stood still.
But the cost of furnishing telephone service has
increased steadily since the war began.
The price of a few specific items, constituting
about 75 per cent of the telephone plant, increased in
the fall of 1917 over 1915 as follows:
Cross arms . 43 per cent
Locust pins .107 per cent
Poles . 24 per cent
Cross-arm braces .220 per cent
Lead covered cable . 80 per cent
Steel Strand .104 per cent
Iron wire .103 per cent
Copper wire .145 per cent
Switchboard cable . 88 per cent
Switchboards . 50 per cent

The cost of maintenance and operation also has
increased beyond all expectations. Increases have
been made in the salaries of our employees that were
not justified by our earnings but were considered nec
essary in order that we might deal fairly with our em
ployees and properly serve the public.
Telephone rates, up to now, have remained the
same. Your telephone service, in proportion to its
utility, is the very cheapest thing you buy.
We believe our subscribers will appreciate our
efforts to meet conditions that exist in McCrory, and
will recognize the necessity that now confronts us of
getting aditional revenue. _
