Founded By Farmers

Founded by farmers, the company has deep roots in our business community from agriculture, manufacturing, service, retail, healthcare, education, and government services This group of men purchased the Montgomery, Epsom, and Glendale telephone exchanges, known as the MEG Telephone System, from Louis Roundtree who had acquired them from Midwest Telephone Co. in the early 1940s.

Cable Makes Its First Appearance
In December of 1950, the corporation purchased the Williams exchange from Max Hosea, and in June 1951, the Plainville Telephone Company was purchased. In April 1952, several miles of cable were placed, and the first Stromberg-Carlson automatic dial office was put into service in 1954. That same year, the corporation moved into a new building in Montgomery.
