In an article published on August 4 re: the Cloyne Pioneer Museuam, they show a telephone switch board that had been donated by Ellery Thompson. I thought that the article would have mentioned that James and Kate Vogan of Northbrook had sold their telephone business to Ellery Thompson, and most likely this switch board had been the one that they had used for many years.
I remember visiting the Vogans as a child and Mrs. Vogan would have to tend to the switching of calls. She would have to give up what she was doing to tend to the calls. It was really a night and day job.
When the Vogans started their telephone business they had a total of 6 customers.
