Between high school and college I worked for Directory Assistance at Cincinnati Bell.

In my dept we covered two area codes and had a rotary dial on the wall to call small towns which we had no directory for. The caller stayed on the line while we spoke to the other operator. "Oh, Jim Brown on Main Street. I know his brother. His number is...."
And getting the operators assistance was free!!!!!!!!
