WHEN this Company began 60 years ago, only part of the money needed to develop the service could be raised in Canada. The American Bell Telephone Company agreed to provide the remainder—about one-third of the capital required. The relationship thus begun with the Bell System across the line has continued ever since. Today the American Telephone and Telegraph Company owns about 23 per cent of this Company’s stock. The connection has been invaluable both to this Com­ pany and to telephone users in Canada. The great research department of the Bell System — the Bell Telephone Laboratories — has evolved a continuous series of improvements in every department of tele­ phone service. These have been available for our use in Canada, so that telephone service in the Dominion has kept abreast of the latest developments. Costs to the user are the lowest in the world for comparable service. Canadians use the telephone more frequently than the people of any other land — a fact that is directly related to the ready access we have always had to improvements in equip­ ment and operating methods, and to the econ­ omies made possible by scientific research!
