When I was a kid, we didn't have dial phones. You picked up the receiver and a lady asked number please? I still remember our home and Dad's store numbers.Right on guys, and the iceman came every week and delivered our ice. It was under a tarp in the back of the truck and covered with sawdust.
It is amazing and mind boggling the changes that I have witnessed during my past 81+ years.
