Postal Telegraph to Enter Telephone Business Nationally
The June issue of The Telephone reports the Postal Telegraph Co. will compete with Bell and Western Union by expanding into the telephone field across the United States. It plans to unite independent lines with long distance circuits to key cities as it transforms copper networks from Pittsburg to New York in anticipation of nationwide service. The move stems from self protection against the Bell-Western Union amalgamation.
