having within their reach telephone
service that is as perfect in its me
chanism and appointments as is that
OF the Home Telephone Co. of Oska

! factory enterprises of OskaloOsa the
Herald man could not refrain from
going into their fine building at the
corner of North Market street AMI A
avenue east and having friendly
talk with George W. Gordon the Gen
reral manager of the companys inter
ests.

since the present building was erected
! for the company's use and it was then
supposed to last them for years to
come and they were Congratulating
themselves that they had plenty OF
room in which to work. But the work
of the company has grown so fast
/ that even now, they are cramped and
are looking about for more space
The building is of reinforced concrete
construction and Is thoroughly fire
proof in it's arrangements.
| About the time the building was er
rected the phone service wires in the
business section of Oskaloosa was put
under ground in conduits large enough
to permit additions to the service with
out disturbing the work already in
Every little ways along these conduits
are manholes, so that repairs can read
lily be effected. The wear and tare and
depreciation to plant of this char
acter is far greater than the people in
general have any idea and where the
service wires are placed underground
this liability is greatly reduced ami
the outlay for repairs Is comparative
ly small. 1t Is the COmpany's idea vi
timately to place the entire system
underground and thus protect them
selves from the raVages Of climatic
changes, storms, the sleet and ice OF
winter and other detrimental results
OF an overhead wire or cable system
With these additions and chan:"""
provided for, the company viii give
its attention to necessary additions
to the capacity of their switchboard
in the operating room. There are al
present some AZ telephone girls EN-
ployed on the various day and night
shifts and also about 20 men in the
construction department, with also
the repair shop and wire chiefs room
In all the yearly pay roll involves
an outlay OF over $4,000 which goes
largely into the hands of the business
men of Oskaloosa for the living ex
penses of these employees. This Is an
average OF more than $2,500 per

There is also another feature of the
