| .....ARMSTRONG has been a leader in the telecommunications
industry for over 50 years. Throughout that time, ARMSTRONG
has kept pace with the ever-changing world of technology.
ARMSTRONG had its beginnings in 1947 in Armstrong County,
Pennsylvania. The company, which was initially known as
Armstrong County Line Construction, Inc., specialized
in telephone and power line construction and acted as
a contractor to local utility companies.

more involved with the day-to-day operations of telephone
systems. In 1957, ARMSTRONG purchased the Ritchie Telephone
Company of Harrisville, West Virginia. Today, ARMSTRONG
owns, operates and maintains independent telephone companies
in Rising Sun, Maryland; Addison, New York; Murdocksville
and Duke Center, Pennsylvania and Hamlin and Harrisville,
West Virginia.
