Its total volume of business has grown from a few thousands to approximately $30,000,000 per annum. The Standard Underground Cable Company’s products are known and shipped to every state in the Union, and to many foreign countries, and the strategic locations of its plants enable it to procure its raw materials of manufacture, and to serve its localized customers, to the best advantage of all concerned. Its district sales offices extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts, and include Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle, besides having com- mission agencies in various places in the United States and in some foreign countries. Its Pittsburgh plant, which is of special interest to Pittsburghers, is located on the Allegheny Valley division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, on Pike street, and extends from Sixteenth street to Seventeenth street, a distance of 475 feet, covered with buildings, nearly all haviug five floors. This plant is devoted mainly to the manufacture of lead- covered cables for telephone, telegraph and electric light and power service, and the manufacture of cable accessories, such as terminals and junction boxes and splicing materials.
