Description
On February 19, 1948, Equality Telephone Company was incorporated. Formerly, Equality Telephone Company had been run as a mutual telephone company, owned and operated by the people of Equality. At this time, the telephone company was in need of repairs and upgrades. Over the next several years, the family owned Equality Telephone Company would go from 14 party operator handled service to single party rotary dial service.
In 1966, Equality Telephone Company purchased Hardin County Telephone Company. Like Equality Telephone Company in the 1940's, Hardin County Telephone Company needed repairs and upgrades. During the late 1960's, Hardin County Telephone Company would see improvements such as upgrades to equipment and the conversion to single party telephone service. Also during this time, all of the aerial cable of both companies was in the process of being replaced with buried cable. The conversion to buried cable was costly and laborious as much of the telephone companies' service area lies within the rocky terrain of the Shawnee National Forest.
In January of 1985, Equality Telephone Company and Hardin County Telephone Company merged. The name was changed to Shawnee Telephone Company, as a reflection of where the company was situated, as well as a reflection of the deeply seeded roots of this company's ownership. Shawnee Telephone Company continued to be a family owned business in the heart of Southern Illinois and the Shawnee National Forest.
