Each subscriber must be dealt with as an individual. His telephone instrument is a piece of individual» personal equipment. But to coordinate this instrument with a nationwide system requires supplementary facilities in whoiesale quantities. In itself, this instrument represents only a relatively small investment. Its proportionate share, however, in the tot.al investment in wire, paTes, switchboards, buildings and other plant required to make Bell System service universal in scope is an hundred times its own value. This investment per instrument is steadily increasing as more and more equipment is put into service at the present high pricesoflabor and materials. Centralized manufacture and years of continuous research have enabled the Bell System in some measure to meet this rising tide of plant investment. The result is that its service remains unriva11.ed not only in efficiency and in extent but in economy from the standpoint of cost to the subscriber.
