Picture taken in Dillonvale, Ohio. Note the terminal box on top of the pole on the right. Judging by the three-crossarm line that followed, it is probable some of the upper circuits that were dead-ended led to either covered paired cable or to a telephone operator's switchboard. Undoubtedly some fine midwestern glass insulators were used here. Also note that the roadway was in the process of being graded. And the undertaker's parlor on the right ;-)
