The Associated Telephone Utilities Company was a Wisconsin-based power company that went bankrupt in 1933, during the Great Depression.[1] Prior to the Depression, the utility was a prominent player in the electrical power business in the Midwestern United States.[2] An appeal by receivers appointed for the Associated Telephone Utilities Company was filed around April 1933, contesting the bankruptcy of the utility, and it was reorganized in 1934 as General Telephone.[1] A chancellor in a court of chancery permitted the petition to be filed in United States District Court.[3]
