The taller pole line along the left has a small two-pin crossarm atop it likely for fire alarm telegraph purposes. Immediately beneath are two 10-pin arms supporting telephone openwire serving local subscribers. A wooden junction box is clearly seen whereby the individual open wires were combined to paired cable. Possibly one of the latter cables entered the local phone company's central office. Note the Bell Telephone sign above the hotel entrance on the far right. Electric lighting service lines were strung on a separate (shorter) pole line...also along the left in this New Hampshire village. In the foreground is an old incandescent street light mounted upon a gooseneck-style pipe bracket. The latter were quite commonplace throughout the teens where lower intensity street lighting (comparable to the output of today's 40 to 75-watt standard lightbulb) was required.
