Alexander Graham Bell's first telephonecomprised a few simple materials,such as wood, iron, and leadbeater's skin.The present ins trument comprises a range of materia ls that runs fromPennsylvaniacoal toRussianplatinum,from Brazilian rubberto Irish linen.The product of the mines, forests, and factories of every continent enterinto the modern telephone system , which guarantees to a town in thePoconos o r t he Cumber land VaEey the same dependable universalservice that Philadelphia and Pittsburgh enjoy.But more to the product of the scientist and of the eng inee r is moderntelephone service attributable, Without the results of their research anddevelopment, the sky wouId now be clouded with aerial wires, Scrantonwould be shout ing in vain to make itself heard in Harrisburg, and theswitchboard limitations would be such as to res tr ic t the serviceto a merehandful of users.Further extension of the service, a t i ts p re sent rate of growth, puts increasing premiurn on this scientific development. It is largely what hasmade possible a million interconnecting telephones in Pennsylvania. Itis what guarantees the accomplishment of further expansion, and in sucha way as to insure always increasing facility in the use of this indispensable agency of communication.
