Does anybody have a listing of old phone number Mnemonics or know where I could find such a list.
The most obvious example is Pennsylvania 6-5000
But I was reading something earlier and the phone number was CHarleston x-xxxx
When I was 17 in High School and working in the Eckerd Drugs Pharmacy in Hewitt, TX, where the phone exchange was "The Number of the Beast", we would often get old people who had printed on their checks NO6-xxxx instead of 666-xxxx.
So... I was wondering how they came up with the names - Pennsylvania, Charleston, etc.
