(They had nothing to do with the post office, just took the name to sound cool). They were a smaller outfit, but in competition with Western Union. Here is an ad (two pages) https://archive.org/details/Nations-Business-1929-06/page/n75/mode/2up They ran into financial trouble and merged with Western Union. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Telegraph_Company WU's well respected president, Walter P. Marshall, was originally a PT employee. As an aside, there was another telephone company, Keystone Telephone, that competed directly with the Bell System in a few places. They too fell onto hard times and were merged into the Bell System. http://www.keystonetelephone.com/ ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sat, 07 Mar 2020
