724,000 Telephones
City and Suburbs
in
JANUARY 1st, 1914, there were in New York City
and its suburbs, 724,000 telephones, served through
310 telephone exchanges and connected by 2,484,000
miles of wire, through which there are sent daily over
3,000,000 messages.
Each of these 724,000 telephones is the center of
a system which reaches over 70,000 towns and cities
in the United States and Canada. During the past year
there have been added to the telephone system serving
New York City and its immediate vicinity
58,405 Telephones
207,833 Miles of Vire
This growth in the number of. telephones and ex
tension of the telephone system indicates the rapidly in
creasing dependence of the people upon the telephone in
all social and business activities.
Every telephone user throughout the whole area
benefits, because every telephone added to the system
permits a wider and more varied use of this most rapid
and reliable means of communication.
