Phone Licks Stamp
In Battle of Inflation
Business enterprise is the
clear winner in the inflation-
ary price comparison battle
between the post office and
the telephone company, news
paper columnist Gerry Pratt
points out.
Not so long ago you could
mail a letter from New York
to Los Angeles for two cents,
while a telephone call cost ten
dollars. Today, the postage is
eight cents and the telephone
call is seventy cents for three
minutes, if you dial directly
on the weekend.
OK, you reply, but it is
still cheaper to write!
To which the rejoinder is;
message units for local calls
are less than a nickel and the
long distance gap sure is nar
rowing.
Schedules Banquet
