Dial System Sunday Marks Telegraph History in Oswego
The Oswego area will inaugurate modern long distance dial telephoning enabling direct person to person calls across distances without an operator. The New York Telephone Co and Bell System began preparations four years ago, acquiring West Third and Eve streets as a site, with August completion and installation of equipment including over 200 miles of wiring in the building.

Ontario Telephone Co seals Oswego growth arc and dial era arrives
Oswego nears peak phone service as the Ontario Telephone Company prepares to inaugurate dial service at 2 a.m. tomorrow. The 80 year old system, born from early local firms and capitalized initially at 40,000, expanded through building a new West Second Street facility and widening lines to nearby towns. The piece traces founders, stockholders, and the shift to New York Telephone in 1910, noting old numbers and the new dial assignments for residents including Miss Anna W. Post and Stanley P. Emerick.
