My granddaughter found this on Ancestry,com.  My dad's draft registration form from 1940.

Pretty cool. Show that phone number to a kid today and just watch the look on their face.

Right and you gave the number to an operator who would say "number please".

That would have been my Grandmother.  Worked the switchboard and pulled the cables and plugged into the appropriate jack to complete the calls.

I meet a lot of “Vets” these days who like to “add on” to their Service Records” and tell me they were an operator. 
 

Every single time, I look them square in the eyes and say “for AT&T or Southern Bell?”  Lying sacks of crap.
