Palmer Telephone Celebrates 100 Years of Service

In February 1904, the towns of Pomeroy and Palmer joined together to organize the Pomeroy-Palmer Mutual Telephone Company. That company eventually evolved into Palmer Mutual Telephone Company, and today we offer local telephone service, long distance service, paging, dial-up Internet, high-speed DSL Internet and 55 cable television channels over our fiber optic network to the town of Palmer and the surrounding rural area. So on July 10th, 2004 Palmer Mutual Telephone Company celebrated it’s 100th year at the Palmer Community building. With approximately 300 attendees for the meal of Brats and burgers served by the Palmer House along with guest appearances by Johnny Orr and Senator Jack Kibbie. All of us from the Palmer Mutual Telephone Company wish to thank everyone for helping us celebrate. Following are some pictures from the celebration on July 10th, 2004.
