The operator wasn't in the next town, the operator was in the next county. When they finally ran phone lines out from town, we had 10 parties on a line.( 2 or 4 would have seemed like a private line!!) That phone was similar to a dial phone except it had a crank where the dial would be.<br /><br />Before we got a TV, there had to be a local station and that didn't happen until 1956.

I remember every one of these. My grandparents had that very phone and they had what was called a "2 party line". That meant they shared the line with a neighbor. Some lines were "4 party lines", which must have been a ferking nightmare to use.<br /><br />Ice for our "ice box" was delivered by a horse-drawn wagon and the neighborhood kids would follow it around on hot summer days getting little chunks of ice off the rear, to suck on.jadedjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855180793926350647.post-26170767926968148122015-06-08T17:37:55.782-04:002015-06-08T17:37:55.782-04:00Ha, HaHa, HaMom at homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142674421000226910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855180793926350647.post-9137123920010117102015-06-08T15:47:14.735-04:002015-06-08T15:47:14.735-04:00Im so old, I had a blind date with Noah, we went o...Im so old, I had a blind date with Noah, we went on a boat ride.yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855180793926350647.post-3958035340138250642015-06-08T14:22:52.924-04:002015-06-08T14:22:52.924-04:00Jesus Christ, you ARE old, Ol' Buzzard!

But having said that, I too remember soft drinks available only in glass bottles, cold water bath dispensers for soft drinks, and telephones before the rotary dial. And of course bottle openers -- or "church keys" as they were called when used to open beer. The rest of your items, however -- ALL BEFORE MY TIME, you geezer!Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.com
