<p>[QUOTE="patd8643, post: 3599605, member: 5195"]We didn't have dial phones on the farm where I was raised until about 1950. You would Pick up the phone and be sure no other party was on it (we had a 7 party line), turn the handle to ring the bell and tell the operator who you wanted to speak with - or perhaps give her a number if they had one or you could remember it. Seemed to work well in our small community![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
