"Number Please..." The telephone exchange located
on the second floor of the telephone building at 329 Barry Avenue.
Telephone operators kept the community connected. Responsibilities reached
from making the right "plug-in" to ringing
the fire alarm. Operators were
phased out in 1955 when all switched boards went dark and direct dialing
took over. In the picture are Theodora Champion Gunlock (seated) and Mildred Douglas
Anderson.
