trail switch board with a capacity of
400 telephones and at that time the
board was a little over half full. 1t
was thought this board would be
large enough to supply the demand
for years to come, but it was only a
few months until it was seen that the
board was going TO be filled up and
additional sections we're ordered the
first of this year, but the factory has
not been able to supply them with the
sections so far and now the board is
full and about twenty five orders for
telephones hanging on the hook. Mr.. !
Wright says he believes that in an |
other year there will be 600 telephones |
in use in the city, beside about 300 |
phones scattered through the county |
at mines and stations and at Jerome |
