Chambers to Get 1
Metallic Phones
CHAMBERS—The four stock
holding telephone companies
now serving the Chambers
community decided at a recent
meeting to turn over all tele
phone service within the city
to Ken Werner.
Mr. Werner will build a new
metallic system with under
ground cables. The system will
include dial phones.
Country lines will be connect
ed to the Chambers system.
The four companies involved
are: the Lone Tree company,
the Bliss-Martha company, the
Lyle Dumas company an,d the
South Fork company. Each
company will have the responsi
bility of rebuilding and repair
ing its own lines to conform to
the modern system.
The system now in use was
built about 50 years ago and,
as one oldtimer said, "It has
been maintained by small
yearly dues and a lot of in
dividual fortitude"
I “If you have ever waded the
South Fork creek carrying post
hole digger, wire stretcher,
hammer and pliers while you
watched the telephone line with
one eye and big white faced
bulls with the other you will
understand what the old tele
phone linemen down this way
went through,” said another.
The men who started and
kept the old system going de
serve a lot of credit.
“The new system will Insure
better and fully dependable
service,” Mr. Werner says
