The Telephone in Birmingham: The Birmingham Post says – “We understand that company is about to be established in Birmingham under the title of “The Midland Telephone Exchange Company Limited” with Mr. George H. Chubb (who has recently been conducting telephone experiments already noticed by us as one of the directors; Mr. Henry J. T. Pierce of the town as managing director; and Messrs. Barlow, Smith and Pinsent as solicitors. The undertaking will be associated with the Telephone Company, London. It is intended, we believe, to commence with centres both at Birmingham and Wolverhampton, a communication line being laid between these centers.”
