Did Yanceyville have "dial system" telephone service before Danville?
Rise in Number of Telephones Business Index
Next to Postoffice receipts as an index to community business conditions the telephone company's volume of business is regarded as important. J. M. H. Morgan, local manager for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone company reports that 60 new telephones have been put in since the first of the year bringing the total number in Danville up to 5,196.
Of interest here is the fact that telephones in Yanceyville, NC, are being run directly from the Danville exchange through the dial system and without the necessity of going through an exchange at Yanceyville.
But officials of the company have stated that this does not mean the adoption of the dial system in Danville at any time in the immediate future. The Yanceyville situation was found to be more economically administered by installing the dialing system insofar as it relates to the telephones in the Caswell County seat.
