Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Company

[2] In the 1880s, Kellogg was a manager at Western Electric as superintendent of its Chicago manufacturing and research plant, and also at the Southern Telephone and Telegraph Company.

This switchboard offered greater flexibility and efficiency than earlier designs in handling a large telephone subscriber base at urban exchanges.

[5] In 1903, the Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Company was the target of a bitter strike by the Brass Molder's Union Local 83 and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Kellogg Switchboard sued to stop the Teamsters from engaging in their sympathy strike, and won an injunction forcing the drivers back to work.

[11] Meanwhile, the former Kellogg customer-premises equipment business unit based at Corinth, Mississippi was given a new name – Cortelco – and in July 1990 was sold to a former ITT executive, David S.

[12] In December 2008, eOn Communications (where Lee was chairman and CEO) announced an agreement to acquire Cortelco Systems Holding Corporation.
