Telephone Signs Of Western Canada
by Morgan Davis

Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", February 1989, page 9

The western provinces of Canada, having established early Government telephone services, are quite diverse in logos and colors insofar as telephone signs go. After visiting with Bill Lovely of Regina, I was dazzled by the variety compared to the typical blue and white motifs of Ontario. Thanks for the help with the photos, Bill!
