Gives the History of the Hig
Creek Telephone Coinpan) —
The Company To Build Two
Metallic Lines, One From Bijj
Creek to Capeila and the Other
From Danbury to Walnut
Cove.
Westfield, June 2, lS>lo.
Danbury Reporter,
Danbury, N. C.
Messrs. Editors :
As the Big Creek Telephone
Co. will soon extend its lines
into every section of Stokes
county, I am writing this to
give your readers some informa
tion about our company.
About seven years ago five
men met at Mr. J. C. Frans'
store or.e night at d decided to
| organize a Mutual Telephone
' Co. which we did and ordered
1 five phones and five miles of wire.
When the wire and phones came
iwe met one day and put up the
i line and installed the phones.
;This was the beginning of the
; Big Creek Telephone Co.
We tried to get more of our 1
.neighbors to help us, but they
would not have anything to do
[with it, but in less than one
j
year several people wanted
I phones, so we met and decided
Ito take them in our company if
they would pay the sum of i? 10
' and buy their own phones.
: With the *lO we bought wire,:
brackets and insulators to run
lilies to the new members'
homes. But we required each
| one to erect his own line, The
; 11 • from each new man soon
give us a surplus in the treasury
: which enabled us to buy a
; switchboard and install it at
i Big Creek. Up till this time we,
hud nothing but two it tie call
hrlls with connecting switches'
at each end of our line. One
connected us at Mr. \Ym. Mar
tin's with the (Quaker (lap '!'• le-,
phone i n, and the oth.T ;:t Mr.
,1. !!. Wiight's with another
'.•oinp:tn\ which gave us I'ilot

T. lephcne Co. in us entirety and
are having iheiv lines overhauled
and wiil soou build a direct line
from Danbury to Walnut Cove.
We are building a metallic
line from Big Creel; to Mt. Airy
now, and will soon build one
from Big Creek to Capeila.
All our local lines are one wire
or grounded, but we are making
all main lines metallic or double
and don't allow any phones
jon them. With the Slate sys
tem that we have just bought
we now own over five hundred
miles of line, five exchanges and
between four and five hundred
telephones.
Moore's Springs, Vade Mecum
and Piedmont are directly con
l necttd with us and reach the
outside world over our lines.
Now a word to the citizens of
j Stokes who have no phones :
If you want good service and
j want to be connected with the
outside world you had better
take stock in our company, and
; here is the terms by .which you
can become a stockholder:
I You pay to the company sl2
and do worth of work towards
building the line and jgu attach
| your own phone to, and we issue
you a stuck certificate for S2O
which allows you S3 for the
work, nr you can pay S2O and
do no work. You also buy your
own phone as that is not includ
ed in stock and is your own
personal property. Th» phone
will cost you 112 50 and the cost
of installing the same The
.company furnishes all wire,
brackets and insulators to Ixiihi
all branch lints: buys an l in
stalls all switch! oards and builds
and keeps in good repair all!
main lines, but the stockholders'
on all branch lines must keep up
their lines thpmselves.
Each member is assist d *I.OO
per year to pay the operators at
the switchboards. Any person
not a stockholder in the Co. who
wants to use your phone will be
charged the sum of 10 cents
through each switchboard and
the stockholder from whose
i phone the person talks gets half
and turns the other half over to
the company. All our operators
make tickets on long distance
and toll messages. We are
directly connected over our mvr.
