Growth in Bell Telephone System Boosts 1909 Profits
President Theodore N. Vail reports 1909 as a year of major activity and progress for American Telephone and Telegraph. The Bell system surpassed 5,000,000 telephone stations and 10,000,000 miles of wire, with daily connections near 20 million and annual growth in bonds converted to stock. Revenue reached $150,000,000, surplus $48,500,000, and dividends paid totaled $24,000,000. The report notes $280,000,000 plant additions and plans to raise authorized capital to $500,000,000, despite no immediate need for such funds.
