PUBLIC UTILITIES
THAT WERE NEEDED
A Central Western Union Tel
egraph ONCE and q Long
Distance Telephone.

egraph 0face and a Long
Distance Telephone.
Last Saturday a long desired
public utility was inaugurated
here. The Western Union Tel
egraph Company has established
y central Office in the heart of
the city. 1t is located in the
rotunda of the New City Hotel,
and will prove great convenience
to the public. The establishment
of this up town Office will place
Winfield in direct communIca-
tion with all parts of the country.
The location of this Office has
long been strenuously sought and
urged. Major Will a Strong,
Secretary of the Progressive
League, has been corresponding
with the officials of the company
for months to secure such an
Office in town. To his untiring
perseverance, and persistent en-
deavors, more than aught else, is
largely due the final securing of
this much needed facility for
communicating with the outside
world through reliable and
prompt communication at point
of easy access. The establish
ment of this Office has been hailed
with genuine pleasure and the
expression of deep qualification.
Mr.. K. w. Tugwell is the opera
tor in charge.
Located in the same quarters.
has been established q long
distance telephone of the North
Locisiana Telephone Company. |
Thus, whether q message is to
flashed over q wire Or conveyed
BY voice, both facilities have
become a fixture in the New City
Hotel, which is fast becoming the
favorite resort of the travelling
public and of those who keep in
touch with friends and neighbors
from the surrounding country.
Ii marks the fruits of the organ
ization of the citizens in a Pro-
gressive League to push and
secure benefits for the general
public.
