Tucker 4-2202 ....on a farm in east central Illinois. It was a party line with five other families on our country road. I remember my mom & dad having to politely ask Mrs. Brooks to get off the line so we could make a call, otherwise she would stay on it all day talking to her sister, who only lived about another half-mile away.
