None $3,095,560.66 District headquarters of the Postal Telegraph Company, now located in Richmond, Va., will be moved to Char lotte and about 40 officials will come with the new headquarters, controlling from here over 5,000 operators and Post al employees. , It was learned Saturday that this plan has been adopted by Postal offi cials and orders will be issued at once for the change. Recognition of Char lotte's geographical and commercial ad vantages moved the company high of ficials to order the shift. -The change is effective the latter; part of Novem ber, t The district, which will have Char lotte as headquarters, covers Virginia, North and South Carolina. This means the removal to Charlotte from Richmond of the superintendent's office, auditing department and con struction headquarters, with a consid erable office force.' In addition, a considerable amount of the multiplex equipment now in Atlanta will be placed in Charlotte, making it one of the large relay offices of the sys tem. " - . Lease of offices in the Postal Tele graph building has been made for the new headquarters, directly over the lo cal office of that company. Manager W. B. Stuart, of the Char lotte Postal office, who is one of the company's best men, was seen by a representative of The News in regard to the 'rumor and confirmed the change of his headquarters. 1 "Yes, i is true," said Manager Stu art, "that the district headquarters will be moved to Charlotte. It was not our purpose to make this announcement at this time, but in view of the fact that through the leasing of offices for the headquarters, the move has gained some publicity in the city, my confirm ing of the rumor, during the past cou ple of days, was made necessary. "When I came to Charlotte some five I years ago, the. city forcibly Impressed me with great opportunities commer cially and industrially and after over a quarter of a century service in the tel egraph and telephone field, it appear ed to me destined to become one of the largest wire centers in the country, due to the geographical position, and it was evidently due to these possibilities that the executive department of the com pany decided to maintain its district headquarters here. "The-removal of headquarters here will bring the superintendent's office, auditing department and construction department here, with their office per sonnel. Mr. Stiles, the superintendent, is a man experienced in every detail of the telegraph and telephone service and is making s marked record for in- I creased facilities and increase in speed." "Charlotte is now getting the benefit of a good increase in telegraph and telephone facilities, through the com pletion of , additional wires ordered by the Postal Telegraph Company imme diately after its release- from govern ment control. These wires are design ed, to provide a safe margin above the growing demands of traffic; resulting from the recent reduction of rates , by the Postal Company alone. Gangs kre constructing additional wires through out tne system, notnmg but copper wire is being utilized, involving an expenditure- of several million dollars." The fellows who sell oiL and gasoline and au tomobile accessories , are using about the best term we - know anything . about. "SERVICE STATION!" Isn't that fine? We'll say it is.' That word; "service" lacks mighty little, of being the "biggest word in the 'English language. Now, we, don't sell oil and accessories; but you just ask the widows and orphans of the men who have left their estates1 in our hands if we don't run a "service station." . , It is by service that we justify the faith and confidence of those who nominate us to trust ca pacities executorships, guardianships and trus teeships. - Southern' Real Estate Loan (, " ; .
