where Nothing Gtrows •
Science selects and preserves even the familiar telephone pole.
In three widely separated, climatically different parts of the
continent, laboratory tests are made by planting various types
of telephone poles -exposing them to the weather for long
periods and observing the effect.
Thus 'chemists and engineers have devised means of using less
costly pine, treated with creosote, instead of cedar, chestnut
and Douglas fir. The saving is substantial—one of the many
savings that science makes possible and which keep the cost
of telephone service within the reach of the humblest user.
Recent rate reductions saving telephone . users $600,000
yearly mean wideruse and greater value to each subscriber.
