Scope and content
Telephone center - Camp Murray. Telephone services during WWII were not as readily available as they would be in the decades following the 40s. Personnel at Camp Murray would need to report to the designated "Telephone Center" operated by Pacific Telephone & Telegraph in order to make local and long distance calls. Often due to the high demand, there would be long periods of waiting to use the phones. Photograph ordered by Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co.
