W THE PEOPLE OF DETROIT
A SERIES OF TALKS
Service for . ,500.000 Detroiters!
Talk So. 3
ONE hundred and sixty-nine thousand
miles of copper wire almost enough
to girdle the earth seven times—are
being added to our underground equip
ment alone, in Detroit.
Now add to that the opening of thirty
seven miles of street for trenches; the laying
of conduit, or container for cable, which
encloses two hundred miles of duct (see
small illustration ; placing therein the
cable carrying the 169,000 miles of wire
and you have a summary of our tremendous
plans for underground construction during
1917.
There is every reason to believe that this
increase in underground equipment, together
with the other items in our $10,000,000
construction program--of which we have
already told you in part —will effect gratify
ing results for all telephone users.
But all this is more quickly
said than done
For example, remember that before con
struction of underground equipment can be
undertaken, it is necessary to ascertain
where the demand for service will arise and
also the probable extent of that demand. In
a growing city, you can appreciate that this,
in itself, is a difficult problem.
For that reason, studies of the growth of
the city are being made continually. Our
Commercial Engineers are ever watching
developments in every section of De
troit. to determine its future telephone
needs, and the way in which they can
best be met.

Their investigations show that we must
be prepared to serve, within the next ten
years, a city of 1,500,000 people!
We have faith in Detroit
We have confidence in ourselves. And w f e
are backing up both by insuring the distri
bution of telephone facilities in all sections,
with the idea of being prepared to the last
point of efficiency.
W’e are using the largest sizes of cable
made -some with 2,400 wires and large
quantities with 1,800 wires, which are
distributed throughout the territory to be
served, according to the probable needs.
And all this work must be done before the
actual demand for service arises. It is only
by building thus that it is possible to have
available a pair of wires to connect your
telephone with “Central” quickly after the
order for installation is given.
What you want is service
W T hat we want you to have is the kind of
service you want!
Our twelve building projects; the addition
of 655 operators’ sections of switchboard;
the expansion of underground facilities with
a view to serving 1,500.000 people; and
many other things of which we shall tell you
later are all items of service. The net
result is service as YOU interpret the term:
the immediate installation of your telephone;
a prompt, speedy, accurate transaction
with “Central,” from the moment you
take the receiver off the hook till you
say “Good-bye” —with a smile!
