Prices of everything else have advanced again and again during these years. Eggs can no longer be had at ten cents nor chickens at fifteen. The materials which we use in the main tenance of our system and in the construction of new lines have increased three times since our present rates were established. Labor, also, has taken long and rapid strides toward high prices until at this time we are paying double the old prices. It has been necessary to advance our telephone rates to off set these greatly increased expenses. And, too, the company has made plans to install, at great expense, the automatic telephone system. The installation has already been started and it will be push ed to completion in the shortest psssible time. Within a year it is expected that this system will be in operation in High Point one of the first cities in the south to adopt the new system. NORTH STATE TELEPHONE CO.
