<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 277390, member: 182"]Back in the day, everything Bell System was made in drab colors. The mechanical pencils were green, first aid kits green or gray, smoke-a-dors were brown headsets and phones were black, desks were gun metal gray. Lots of stuff was drab green. In later years when they adopted the white with blue and yellow stripe logo, things got a little brighter. Since it was a public utility, things had to be basic. Anything fancy and the rate payers complained about the extravagance. LOL![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
