PLANTERS

The 1960's saw a steady growth and improvement in the system as underground cable was installed and new switching equipment was put into service in the new central office buildings. In 1962 a new headquarters was built in Newington, and a warehouse was added several years later. At the end of 1966, 2,000 subscribers were being served throughout the area. A major step was taken to provide all one-party service, and the last exchange was upgraded in late 1976. At that time, Planters was serving 3,613 subscribers...
