A SECTION OF THE OPERATING ROOM 



Two hundred and fifty Filipino em- 

 ployees maintain and operate the most 

 up-to-date telephone system in the Orient; 

 the Manila system of the Philippine Is. 

 Telephone & Telegraph Co. 



This system is similar in every respect 

 to the largest and most up-to-date systems 

 now in use in the United States, in which 

 country the highest state of telephone 

 development has been reached. 



71,000,000 feet of wire 

 in underground cables 

 and 4,000,000 feet of 

 wire in aerial cables are 

 used to serve Manila's 

 telephone subscribers, 

 who are increasing rap- 

 idly, necessitating the 

 installation of additional 

 branch offices which are 

 now in course of con- 

 struction.
