| ¢ | ~ Employees as Stockholcers There are about 150,000 employees in the Bell Telephone System. More than 30,000 employees, or practically one in five, are stockholders. Thousands of girl operators, linemen and clerks have sub- scribed for stock under an easy payment plan recently adopted by the company. Including employees, there are nearly 100,000 stockholders in the Bell Telephone System, or one to every thousand persons in the United States. Who the Shareholders Are In many cases stock subscribed for by e}nployees is being paid for a little each month. The plan of buying stock this way aids employees to save their money as well as to become part owners of the company for which they work. Aside from employees, the majority of stockholders in the Bell System are women. Yale and Harvard, and other colleges and public institu- tions, have part of their endowment funds invested in Bell Tele- phone stock. NORTHWESTERN TELEPHONE EXCHANGE CO.
