Then and now

This week’s old photo is of four Western Carolina Telephone Co. operators in 1951. It was brought in by Elise Terrell, who is the operator on the far right. With Terrell are, from left, Joretta Moon, Becky Wilson and Polly Wolffer. The Herald substitutes a “Back Then” picture for its popular “Then and Now” feature at least once a month. Readers who have photos taken in Jackson County that are at least 25 years old and include a recognizable feature (such as an existing building, highway, mountaintop or ridgeline) are invited to submit them for use in “Then and Now.” Photos can be dropped off or mailed to the newspaper office. As a convenience to those who would prefer not to let their cherished photos out of their sight, Herald photographer Nick Breedlove will scan photos Tuesday and Wedesday mornings between 10 and 11 a.m. Those with questions about potential “Then and Now” photos may contact Breedlove at 586-2611, ext. 310, or nick@thesylvaherald.com.
