Georgetown Telephones Grow as Subscriptions Rise Over Years
The Georgetown telephone history traces growth from 12 lines in 1889 to 166 by 1909. It notes long distance rates to Toronto in 1890, increases in assigned numbers, shifts to residential lines, and key management by Mr. Jackson. The record cites 1902 directory counts and a 1905 Hamilton link, with expansion through 1909 and a 1908 Ashgrove Rural line lease setup with Bell Company connections.
