City loses chance to host AT&T test station exchange
Daily Sentinel reports Mr. Astley G. Terry of American Telephone and Telegraph in Pittsburgh visited Grafton seeking a site for a test station to support long-distance lines. City officials would not grant a franchise, forcing AT&T to place the station outside city limits. Grafton misses potential jobs, a new telephone building, and improved long-distance service, while other cities welcome the company.
