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!
