Updated: May 24, 2025

This one na-tion, which owns six per cent of the earth and is five per cent of the human race, has SEVENTY per cent of the telephones. And fifty per cent, or one-half, of the telephony of the world, is now comprised in the Bell System of this country. There are only six nations in Europe that make a fair showing the Germans, British, Swedish, Danes, Norwegians, and Swiss.
