TELEPHONE SERVICE


The Home Telephone and Telegraph Company operates all telephone service in the City of Fort Wayne and connects with the Indiana Bell Telephone Company with a consolidated tollboard for long distance transmission.


This plant is one of the best in the state of Indiana or in any city of its size in the United States.


The company owns three new fire-proof buildings which house the general of- fices and central office equipment together with a consolidated toll board: one which houses additional central office equipment and a fire-proof warehouse and garage.


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. The company is in a position to take care of greatly increased demands for its service.

BELL TELEPHONE SERVICE


All long distance calls of the Home Telephone and Telegraph Company in Fort Wayne are handled by the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, which has one of the most up-to-date toll switchboards in the United States, operated by a force of 55 day and night operators. There is a total of 95 toll circuits, radiating in every direction from Fort Wayne, like the spokes of a wheel. Nearly half a million out-going tele- phone calls are handled during the year, the monthly average being close to 40.000. these calls going to all parts of the United States over the lines of the Bell System.


The long distance construction program for 1928 calls for an expenditure of more than half a million dollars in Indiana, part of which will be spent in new cir- cuits and improving the present ones in the Fort Wayne office.


Fort Wayne business firms and residences have access to any telephone in the United States or Canada, as well as connections with Cuba. Fngland. Scotland. Wales and Mexico. The vice-president of the Home Telephone and Telegraph Company, Mr. Frank E. Bohn. talked to Sir Alexander Roger in London at 11:30 o'clock, February 10. 1927.

INDUSTRIAL FORT WAYNE

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.
