1883 Stevens Point Telephone Subscribers
These businesses and residences had telephone connections in 1883. According to THE GAZETTE, June 6, 1883 edition, there were 79 telephone subscribers. The article went on to say, "The above list comprises seventy-nine subscribers, which is considerably in advance of any city of its size in the state, and nearly 50 per cent larger than Milwaukee, considering the population. Credit for this is due to the untiring perseverance of B. C. SPAULDING, the gentlemanly agent who is always on the alert to increase his business".
