"The amount inâ€" vested in the telephone business would build 440,000 homes worth $5,000 each. "Did you ever stop to think that a conversation carried on from New York to San Francisco uses 740. tons of copper, worth nearly half a million dollars, and your voice travels so fast through all this mass that it reâ€" quires only oneâ€"fiftieth of a second for it to go the entire distance?
