Opinion by
Spaeth, J.,
This is an appeal from an order dismissing preliminary objections to jurisdiction and venue. 1 Appellant contends that the court did not have in personam jurisdiction over him because he is a nonresident not within the reach of Pennsylvania’s “long-arm” statute, Act of Nov. 15, 1972, P.L. 271, §8301 et seq., eff. Feb. 13, 1973, 42 Pa. S. §8301 et seq. (Supp. 1973-74), and that the substituted service used to obtain jurisdiction over him was invalid because the suit was not filed in the county where the action arose as required by Pa. R. C. P. 2077-2079.
