The Colorado Telephone Company Toll Accounts Ledger, 1905
File — Box: 13, Folder: 6
Identifier: CD 1
Scope and Contents
The Index of accounts at the front of the ledger lists only 19 subscribers to what was obviously the newly arrived telephone service. Huning & Connell Mercantile leads the list with 41 calls followed by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Los Lunas Depot runner-up with 7 calls. It may be that Huning & Connell provided their telephone service to customers although this is speculative on this appraiser's part. Calls placed were to Belen, Socorro and Albuquerque. Accompanying the ledger, are 124 Agent's Record of Conversations, 11¼" x 17" with columns for call destination—Albuquerque, Peralta, Belen and Esmeralda, the name of the calling party and the charge for the call. These records indicate that Huning & Connell may have been agents for the Colorado Telephone Company.
