Cascade Switches to Dial Phones in Historic Conversion
Cascade completes the switch from crank local phones to dial service under Northwestern Bell with 600 homes on dual lines during the transition. The move, backed by Cascade Telephone Co, expands service area, adds 25 new customers, and ends long-time operator duties as a five digit number system rolls out under local ownership.
