Investment contrast American versus New England Telephone
The author compares two telephone stocks American Telephone and New England Telephone as safe income plays under government supervision.

Both have historically earned more than their dividend needs, though rising borrowings and potential rate changes under private control pose long term risk. Government control has maintained higher rates, yet normal times may ease expenses and sustain earnings.
