Main Dial Office Building Grand Opening of Main Dial Office

United Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc., announces the grand opening of its new Main Dial Office Building, located at

or the corner of Main and Indiana streets in Warsaw. "Open house will be held on Thursday, May 25, 9 a m. to 5 p.m. and Friday, May 26, 1972. 9 a m. to 9 p.m.," said R. M. Clay, Warsaw district manager for the firm. The new building houses district and commercial offices, as well as switching equipment to serve the rapidly growing communications service needs of the Warsaw area. Headquarters for the company’s northern division supervisory personnel will also be located in the new structure. In 1967, United installed nearly $4 million worth of new switching equipment, toll boards and toll ticketing equipment in the newly built structure behind the present Walter’s Drug building. United was born during the great depression and cut its teeth on war, shortages and ice storms. It had its real beginning in 1929 when the United Telephone and Electric Company of Abilene, Kan., acquired several small single exchange telephone companies serving some 2,500 Hoosier customers. Hie next major step in United’s history came in 1931, with the addition of larger exchanges in northeastern Indiana known as “The Goodrich Properties.” United Telephone Company. Inc., was then formed on September 14,1931, by a merger of 18 companies operating 22,000 i telephones. Os the original company’s officers elected on September 17, 1931, T. A. Danielson, assistant treasurer, still resides in Warsaw following his retirement in 1968. Further growth brought about the creation of the present United Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc., in 1953. The Company now operates nearly 169,000 telephones, all dial, in 103 exchanges. A majority of its customers enjoy the convenience of direct distance dialing. United’s exchanges are located in northern, central, eastern, and southeastern Indiana and include many of the State’s lake and

resort areas which continue to experience remarkable growth in industrial development. Branch factories and plants of nationally known businesses have located in United’s areas throughout the State as a result of the trend of large industry to decentralize. As the third largest telephone company in Indiana, United has been a leader in pioneering jir novations. The firm’s Franklin office was the first independent toll center to offer direct distance dialing. The first toll center in the State to provide person-to-person DDD was United’s Monticello office. It now has 9 microwave towers that provide high quality weatherproof toll facilities through the “sleet belt” of northern Indiana. Additional towers are planned for other areas. Jack C. Cluen, who has been with the’ United System since 1937, is president of the company. Other officers are: G. L. White, vice president — operations, D. A. Hair, vice [resident — administration. John M. White, secretary-treasurer and Marvin W. Becker, controller. W. James McCleary A.1.A., of Warsaw, was selected by United Telephone as the architect, planner and consultant for the building project. In addition to the offices previously mentioned, employee lounge facilities and additional dial and switching equipment is located on the first and third floors in the rear of the new building. The facilities have been open since March 6, 1972, at the new location and final clean up work has been taking place since that time. United Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc., whose General Offices are in Warsaw, is a member of the United Telephone System, headquartered in Kansas City, Mo.

Plan Commission Meets Thursday, Deadlocked During a stated meeting of the Syracuse town plan commission last Thursday evening in town hall at Syracuse, members were deadlocked on a request from Liberty Homes to vacate a portion of four streets and alleys in the area of the long-time industry.

With no recommendation available due to the deadlock, the request will now be turned back to the town board of trustees of the town of Syracuse for a final decision. The Syracuse town board had previously been approached on the request and gave no official action, however, implied the request was not favored. A suit has since been filed against the town by the Syracuse business.

Market Scenes LAFAYETTE — Livestock and soybean prices registered sharp gains as com and egg quotations declined moderately in highlights of the agricultured commodity situation during early May. J. William Uhrig, Purdue university extension economist, points out that top quality hogs brought around S2B per hundredweight at Indianapolis — up $3 from late April and the highest in three months. Shrinking cold storage stocks of pork, the beginning of the summer seasonal slaughter decline and strong demand were price boosting factors, the economist says. Strong consumer demand for meat also strengthened wholesale and live beef prices. Prime steers sold at $37 per hundredweight and choice steers at $36.50 in Omaha at mid-May. This was $1.25 higher for the twoweek period. Choice grade steer carcasses weighing from 600-800 f pounds brought $57 in Chicago wholesale markets — $2 above the late April level. The higher prices were in spite of slaughter increases averaging about six per cent. Soybean prices spurted 12 cents a bushel as No. 1 yellow reached $3.56 in Chicago cash markets at mid-month. This is 20 per cent higher than a year ago and the highest in six years. Prospects for exports improved when dockworkers accepted the Pay Board’s cut in a wage settlement negotiated earlier in the year, Uhring notes. Soybean exports since last September have totaled 313 million bushels, about two million bushels larger than those of a year earlier. Cash corn prices sagged two cents a bushel to trade at $1.28 in Chicago. After the slowest start in 10 years# corn planting progressed as weather in the Corn Belt improved. Grade A eggs declined two cents a dozen, trading at 28.5 cents in Chicago wholesale markets.
