Sylva Telelphone Exchange To Give Same Service as Bell, Including Phone Book, May 4, 1926

Sylva Telephone Exchange to Have Directory

The Print Shop is now working on the director of the local telephone company, of which Mr. D.E. Murray is manager. When this directory is completed, one will be placed with every phone in the county.

Mr. Murray states that he is going to give the same service that the Bell people gives and asks the cooperation of all the patrons.

Mrs. Murray is in charge of the switchboard and is ably assisted by Misses Gertrude Ensley, Ruth Dillard and Ethel Crisp.

In the past year Mr. Murray has removed the mass of wires and replaced them with a cable. He has changed all the phones to a common battery, and Mr. Murray states that he is going to do all that he can to give first class service, and as soon as the directory is out that the patrons will be asked to call by number altogether.
