Addition to Help More People to Get Telephones
District Manager E. T. Stromp announced a $145,000 two story addition to the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company in Beckley will expand central office capacity and future toll facilities. The project aims to serve 1,230 pending requests before September 1 and is part of a $7 million Virginia West Virginia expansion begun in 1946 to return service to pre war levels and beyond. The work should be completed by January with some facilities already due next month, and may prompt a third building if growth continues.
