THE SENTINEL-LEADER t 9 m SPARTA, MICHIGAN Say You Saw It In The Sentinel - Leader SPARTA gjjBj By BERLE SLACK, Manager HOW MANY TELEPHONES do you think Michigan Bell serves in our state? The first three people we asked guessed "five hundred thou- sand/* "two million" and "a mil- lion." Before you make your guess, here's a clue: in 1935 there were already more than half a million. Well, today there are almost three mil- lion! This shows how your telephone company has been building to bring modern, complete telephone service to you—when and where you need it. eMrMr*9r*9r*9ror*arMr*9r*or*»ror*9r«or*9r*9f*3r«or*ar*9rMC^> EVER HEAR OF A TELEPHONE FARM? It'« not like most farms because what 's "planted" there by Bell Laboratories* engineers doesn't grow. But the farm does help us analyze and improve various types of under- ground telephone equipment. Into acres of ground go some 11,000 different items—wires and cable for example —that must be engineered for many years of dependable, trouble-free service. Se« lected areas are dug up at 1 TELEPHONE | intervals of from 1 to 32 J f 5f years to check the equip- ment's resistance to under- ground conditions. This helps us in our continuing search for ways to make your telephone service even more dependable. THE INSIDE STORY. "What do tlicy carry in those little green telephone trucks?" you may have wondered. Well, cach truck carries some 400 separate items-from an extension ladder to scrcws and plastic wood. Every one of Michigan Bell's more than 2,000 installation- repair trucks is stocked in the same way. In an emer- gency, where trucks must be rushed from one part of the state to another, any installer-repairman would be completely familiar with the , layout of whatever truck he was assigned. These little trucks provide him with all the tools and equipment he needs to give you 4'»st, efficient one-stop service when he visits your home. WEDNESDAY, JULY 19,1961 VOTE July 25 1961 ThoniM K.
