Morgan Buys Independent Phones in $5,000,000 Deal
JP Morgan & Co reportedly purchased a majority stake in United States Long Distance and Cuyahoga Telephone, with connections to Braley interests and potential later acquisitions of Columbus, Dayton, and Indianapolis properties. Official statements offer few details, citing Morgan control and continued operation of the independents as separate plants in competition with Bell. The move marks Morgan’s first foray into independent telephone properties amid a shifting regional battle among midwest carriers.
