39 Years at Little Rock by steve on Scribd
One of our better ideas of 1984?. We all had AT&T 6300 computers at work...running DOS. At least (Bell Labs) invented a fantastic operating system called UNIX...which ran the world at that time for the telephone system.
A little history of a big building (from A PUBLISHED ARTICLE FROM INVESTORS REALTY ON DECEMBER 2011)
In the 1950s the demand for phone wiring was equivalent to today’s expansion of the cell phone industry. Western Electric Company built several factories across the country to supply the equipment to this expanding industry. It was during the post-war era when women were in the workforce for the first time and service men were returning from war.
Metropolitan Omaha was growing quickly when the plant opened in 1958. Houses were springing up in Omaha suburbs. The President Eisenhower Interstate System was being built...I-80 Interstate.
Millard, a small town outside Omaha, landed one of the approximately 2,500,000 square-foot Western Electric Plants. Peter Kiewit Company built the structure, which in its heyday had 7,700 employees working in the building around the clock. The company had its own medical clinic and cafeteria to
care for and feed workers.
Times have changed and recently only 100 people worked in the 30 building. Several land parcels were sold to local companies of:
Specialty Finishing, Millard Lumber and Kiewit, along with several other small businesses on the east side.

Multiple Logos on a shirt...their were more shirts/items we chose to wear due to a performance or goal award exceeded by the employees....where are they?

It's the dawn of the information age. So what role did Western Electric play in ushering it in? While some of the Bell System's advancements in technology laid the foundation for our current global network, the company also developed tangent technologies that were not adopted widely.
