I phone users In adjacent rural
areas. Both communities are now
provided service from the Dunn
central office.
Also included in the program
will be a new cable from Erwin
to Coats, scheduled for comple
tion in May, 1964. The cable will
enable the company to offer im
proved grades of service to sub
scribers in the Coats area. Effec
tive with the completion of the
new Erwin central office a new
-Sone rate will be established in
Coats for one, two, and fourparty
services.
Additional facilities to serve
new rural subscribers near Coats,
as well as rearrangement of the
Company’s lines in both Dunn and
Prwin are part of the program,
according to Bridgers.
The Erwin central office will be
part of the Dunn exchange and
the new office will be identified
by the prefix 897. Telephone num
bers in Dunn will retain the pre
fix 892. Dunn thus becomes a mul
ti-office exchange.
“This means that all telephone
numbers in Erwin and Coats must
be changed when the new office is
placed in service,’’ Bridgers said.
The central office building in
Erwin will be located at the in
tersection of old IT. S. Highway
421 and State Road 1726. It will
be of masonary construction and
will contain about 1,700 square
feet of floor space.
Transfer of the Erwin and
Coats telephones from the Dunn
central office will relieve the
equipment there and provide faci
lities to serve additional subscri
bers in Dunn and rural areas ad
jacent thereto.
Bridgers said that the growth
of Erwin and Coats in recent
years has brought about an in
creased demand for telephone ser
