I am trying to find information on Raleigh Telephone Company that existed in Estherville, Ia in 1918.?

I need to see if I can find out what company bought them out or if they still exist with another name. Any help on where to look for this information would greatly be appreciated.

Answer:
I did alot of browsing to see if I could come up with an answer, but haven't found a specific reference to the company. I did however come up with various paths to take that may yield an answer if your were to continue with it. It would help to know what county Estherville is in. I seem to get two references to counties and not sure which one it is. When I used key words Historical Estherville 1900, I started to locate history buff messages that post information about that area, and if the county was known, a keyword search for "historical society" for that area may establish a good contact point, and also I might try to locate the main library for Estherville or that county and that may give inroads to finding someone to give you feedback. Just some suggestions. Other Questions and Answers:
