Postal Telegraph Company : ウィキペディア英語版 | Postal Telegraph Company Postal Telegraph Company (Postal Telegraph & Cable Corporation) was a major operator of telegraph and Telex networks in the United States prior to its consolidation with Western Union in 1943.〔Nonnenmacher, Tomas. (History of the U.S. Telegraph Industry )〕 Postal partnered with Commercial Cable Company for overseas cable messaging. Postal was founded in the decade of the 1880s by John William Mackay, an entrepreneur who had made a fortune in silver mining in the Comstock Lode. Mackay's original purpose was to provide a domestic wire network to directly link with the Atlantic Cable. Mackay built the Postal network by the purchase of existing firms that were insolvent. The company was initially called ''The Pacific Postal Telegraph Cable Co''.〔(Pacific Postal Telegraph Cable Company ) San Francisco News Letter and California Advertiser, February 19, 1887.〕 The Postal network was able to achieve sufficient economy of scale to compete with Western Union, occasionally controlling as much as 20% of the business.〔 ==References==
