As the Spirit of Liberty has been the guilding power in the development of I the nation, so has the Spirit of Service been the directing force in the development devel-opment of the great Bell Telephone System. In the brief period of forty years the telephone has developed into a utility that not only enters intimately into the very life of society, but its service has become so comprehensive and so potent that it is now a factor in our national strength and national efficiency, Our country's greatness is built upon the Spirit of Liberty. The efficiency of the Bell System is promoted and maintained by the Spirit of Service. ' !! J The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co. |
