$200,000 Dial Phone System
Now Serving Silverton Area
By LDJLIE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statesman
SILVERTON One chapter was closed and another opened in
the 48-year history of the Interurban Telephone Co. at Silverton
last week end as three generations of 'the Brown family watched
Lowell E. Brown Sr., with an ordinary tin snip, set a $200,000 im
provement into use. (Picture on page one).
For a split second both the old central and the new dial sys
tems were in use, and at no time.
not even for the split second, was
Silverton without telephone serv
ice.
The big event for the family-
owned business was witnessed by
approximately 30 employes and
friends of the Browns, invited in
to view the brilliant lighting of
the boards as the 550 wires were
cut
Among the watchers were Mrs.
P. L. Brown, mother of Brown;
his brother, Delmar and rister,
Mrs. Earle Stephens, both of
Portland, and two of his sons,
Lowell Jr., and Norman. The
third son, Larry, a student at
Oregon State CdUege was unable
to be present
Begun by Grandfather
Silverton' first telephone sys
tem was started by Percy L.
Brown, father of Lowell Brown
Sr. in 1905. His widow is now
business manager and secretary.
and his elder son, president and
physical plant manager.
The first telephone switch
boards were built in the fall of
1904 with farmers around Silver
ton putting up poles and wires
for their farmer -owned lines.
Now only one of the lines served
by the Interurban company is
still farmer-owned.
This is the Victor Point line,
which has put in its own dial
phones.
In 1922, Percy Brown erected
the present brick building at 106
W. Main St It lies, as does much
of Silverton, on the land donation
claim of his pioneer father and
mother, James and Ludnda Da
vis Brown.
Brown continued to operate
the telephone company until his
death in the fall of 1933. Lowell
was graduated from Oregon State
College the spring of 1933, and a
year later returned to Silverton
to take his fathers place in a
telephone company in which he
bad never been employee
The third generation has now
entered the company in Lowell
E. Brown -Jr., just returned from
the Army.
In 1935, when the present man
agement was set up, there were
700 telephone subscribers, while
Saturday night when the cutover
was made, there were 1,700. How
ever, where there have been 25
employes, there are now but 10,
two of these in the office and the
others the regulars in the upkeep
division. The 15 operators are no
longer needed.
At the cutover party Saturday
night the large office desk was
cleared and centered with a beau
tifully arranged bouquet of Dutch
iris, tulips and magnolias from
Mrs. Percy Brown's garden, and
here she presided at the coffee
urn. Assisting were her daughter,
Mrs. Stephens, her daughters-in-law,
Mrs. Lowell Brown and Mrs.
Delmar Brown.,
A little later, when "we are
fully settled," Mrs. Brown said,
there Will be an open house for
the public.
