Capital Telephone & Telegraph

Hello,

Capital Telephone & Telegraph envelope dated 1901. Any item from this old company is hard to find. I am looking for an employee pin from this company! Please let me know if you got one!

The Capital Telephone & Telegraph Company entered the field in competition with the Sunset Telephone & Telegraph Company in 1893, a demand for cheaper telephone service having arisen. Exchanges were located in Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, Placerville, and Loomis. The company cut the rates down to $3, half of the $6 rates charged by the Sunset Telephone & Telegraph Company. The company started business with 400 subscribers.
