COMPANY
HAS new NAME
Will BE Known Hereafter as
the Central District Tele-
phone Company.

The Central District and Printing
Telegraph Company has changed It's
name. After April Q 1t win be known
as The Central District Telephone
Company. name which will more
closely identity the company with the
service which 1t now renders.
Most of the company's patrons have
wondered many times why a company
whose efforts are devoted to furnish.
ing telephone service should be called
Printing Telegraph Company. The
Oldest subscribers, however, may re-
member that before the days of tele-
phones, the &c. D. q p. was furnish-
ing printing telegraph service.
The Incorporation Of the company
was effected IN May, 1874, two years
prior to the invention Of the tele-
phone. An exchange was established
in Pittsburg in the FiE& National
Bank building at Fifth avenue and
Wood street. The name chosen as
most suitable was The Central Dis
trict and Printing Telegraph Conn
pany in its central district, and
new company was to act as agent for
the American District Telegraph Com
pany in their Central district, and
Printing Telegraph" because that
was the type of service furnished.
If subscriber; in those days.
wished to transmit a message to an
other of the 100 subscribers. he sent
1T to the central office with the re-
quest that 1t be repeated over another
line to the person desired. In con-
tiast with the ''rapid FIRE service Of
modern telephony, this printing tele-
graph method OF Communication APP
pears quite crude; but It was the best
of its time,
1 Then came the telephone, first pub
licly shown in 1876 at the centennial
in Philadelphia. It's value as COM
mercial agent was quickly realized
and its use became gradually adopt-
ed. Exchanges were established at
various places and connected with
each other. In the central district
the &c. D. & Pr became the operator
of the Bell system and has continued
as such to this time. The first tele.
phone exchange was established in
Pittsburg on the first day of January,
1879.
Since that day DEVELOPMENT has
been rapid The &c. D. & p has
ritory which includes Pennsylvania,
nearly 100000 telephones in its ter
west of the Allegheny mountains,
eastern Ohio and northern West vlr4
ginia. The whole Bell system has
grown to a total of over 100000
stations.
And now since the Printing Tele-
graph" days are gone, It has been de-
cided to adopt new name, rThe
Central District Telephone Company

convenient to the patrons and to the
