New Local Telephone Company Formed to Rival Winchester
Six prominent Winchester capitalists formed a stock company to launch a local telephone service aimed at competing with the Winchester Telephone Company. Names were kept private for now as the group plans a limited local start, then county expansion, with promise of better service at reduced rates. They intend to apply for a charter as soon as a new charter law passes in December.
