My Dad (Wilson Craft) worked for Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company beginning in the late 1920's and retired from Malheur Home Telephone Company (owned by Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph company and now owned by Century Link) in 1970 in Ontario, Oregon. I found these pictures in some of his stuff and I thought I would share them. Life on the construction crew was a lot different in those days. |
