The central office equipment is Strowger step-by-step automatic equipment manufactured by Automatic Electric Incorporated. It is the very latest development in step-by-step machine switching equipment, and contains service features that are considered the last work in the development of the art.
The outside plant is most modern in every respect. all of the main leads being underground, in some cases extending beyond the city limits. Of the wire mileage. 75 per cent is in underground cables, 21 per cent is aerial cables, and 4 per cent in open wire.

Hodie's
Studer
Fort Wayne's claim to industrial pre-eminence is based on something more than optimism and a high sense of civic pride. The fact that this city is the home of many nationally known concerns and the further fact that there is a steady continuation of industrial development indicates that industrial leaders in many lines are recognizing the advantages of Fort Wayne as a place in which to locate their plants.
The further fact that there is an almost continuous program of plant enlarge- ment and expansion among industries already located in this city is an evidence of its stability from an industrial standpoint.
There are, at this time. 297 industrial plants of various sizes in Fort Wayne. employing approximately 24.824 men and women.
The diversification of these industries make for economic and industrial stabili- zation and also create an ideal employment situation which is of great value to con- cerns now established here, the new concerns considering this city as a place to locate and to the commercial activities of the community.
An indication of Fort Wayne's importance as an industrial center is indicated by employment figures and annual value of products of 69 of our leading concerns.
