In 1896, the enterprising father and son team of A.J. andGeorge A. Briggs partnered with S.A. Buffington, a Chicago Lawyer, to establishChicago Telephone Supply Company (later to become CTS). Working out of a small building near downtownChicago, their telephones were sold through local supply houses, jobbers andmail order.
