SsrridgewOck's Telephone Service
Compared With Twenty Years Ago

If one resides in the same town year
liter year they hardly realize the i'm
nortant changes that are gradually
taking place and the Importance of
those changes to the community TAX
ing the telephone service to the town
OF Norridgewock, for instance, how
many who have lived in the town all
the time for the past twenty years
tnlly realize what the service we now
have compares with that of twenty
wears ago. At that time telephones
we're very scarce and this town boast
ed of a very few. After short time
the New Sharon and Norridgewock
Telephone Company used the old post
Office as their central office and the
postmaster and his assistant were the
centrals" and it was an understood
TACT among the few subscribers that
central was not to be called at
mail time" only for the doctor. After
a time the postmaster objected to be-
ing central girl" as 1t was a real
nuisance to have to answer central

calls and attend to the postoffice du-
ties together. The central was then
changed or moved to the DR.. Ames
drug store and the telephone calls
which were few and far between were
answered by the clerk. AS II by
magic the telephone business COM
menced to grow and everyone desired
a telephone so again the central was
moved to the o. F. Hall store and a
miniature switchboard was put into
use. Soon larger switchboard was
necessary and also larger Office ac-
comodations and the present building
and the two operator switch was pro-
cured. At present there are over four
hundred subscribers to this line which
also has New England Bell Telephone
service. Two central girls are en-
ployed each day and sometimes a third
one is on hand for emergency, a book
keeper and the manager George F.
Chandler and a different number of
linemen according to the condition

Company was only started few years
ago by Frank L. Ames, but the growth
has also been very rapid. The cen
