THE BROWN TELEPHONE co.

Six years ago at the request OF a

to install telephone exchange in
Abilene for the accommodation OF the
people. This seemed to be necessary
on account of the very high rate
charged by the Bell Telephone Co.,
which then owned a small exchange
in Abilene.

with sixty-five telephones, which

and the demand for telephone service
seems to be steadily increasing
