In 1882 the Bell System became convinced that the best way to assure uniformity

facture through one organization. To this end it acquired the Western Electric
Company, which operates under this three-fold policy:

This in itself is not unusual. What #s
unusual is that every item of equip-
ment in the vast network of the Bell
System must coordinate so perfectly that
from any Bell telephone you can talk
clearly with any one of the millions of
others. Can you think of any other
product which must meet such an ex-
traordinary test?
2. To work for efficiency and
lower costs.
Whether it be in purchasing materials
— or in manufacturing the 43,000 items
of telephone apparatus—or in distrib-
uting all this equipment to the Bell
companies, Western Electric is always
seeking the better way. As a result it

telephone equipment used by the opera-

bining their requirements it is able to
manufacture more economically; and it
eliminates selling expenses and credit
losses. The resulting savings it passes

cial stability.
This policy of voluntarily limiting
profits is reflected in the Company's
financial record. In recent years it has
earned on its investment a rate of re-

a representative group of comparable
manufacturers, and over a period of
twenty years this rate has averaged
less than 7%.

On these sales the policy of the
Company is to set the lowest prices
which will enable it to pay fair wages
to its employees, to earn a fair return
on the money invested in the business,
This set-up within the Bell System re-
sults in low costs to your Telephone
Company, and thus Western Electric
contributes its part in making Bell Tele-
phone service dependable and eco-
nomical.
