Few inventions have played a greater part in shaping the world we live in! Since 1877—»just one year after Bell’s long expcrimentation was crowned with success—it has been Western Electric's privilege {9 help carry forward his great idea which gave wings to words. in that year Western Electric made its first telephone.

Today, from coast to coast, in factories, offices, distributing houses and central office installation crews, there are more than 110,000 Western Electric workers. imbued with the Bell System spirit of service, they are helping to provldc equipment in record quantities to meet telephone needs far beyond any envisioned by the inventor. /‘ < Kw (mirage film/3.22.; @fi’dfif This year marks the 100th Anniversary of Bell’s birth in Edinburgh, Scotland. on March 3|. 2841'.me early youth, he was keenly intercstod in aiding the herd of haying.
