Young lady with strong local ties The young lady threading a wire insulating machine above is Lillian Robertson of Western Electric's plant in Buffalo, N. Y. Lillian plays a part in the daily life of many towns from Maine to California. How? Well, the wire that Lillian is helping to make is used in Bell telephone central offices everywhere . . . helping to speed telephone calls. Thousands of other Western Electric men and women are establishing local ties, too, as they rtiake the telephones, switching equipment, wire and cable and other items needed to make Bell telephone service possible. Indeed Western Electric men and women who help with the job of supplying the Bell System come in touch with practically all of America. In doing this they share with the Bell telephone companies the common goal of providing good, dependable telephone service at low cost.
