We had a party line, ( No , not that kind of party! )
Maybe you remember, back in the day , it meant sharing your telephone line with another party. Our family shared with a family of 12 down the block!

Two longs and a short. You would crank the magneto and when "central" answered you would tell her who you wanted to call and she would plug you into the right party on her switchboard. It was a party line as well, with several neighboring families on nearby farms. When the system was upgraded in the mid fifties it was AXminister 6-3887.

When I was asked to RESET my PASSWORD by answering a customized security question (on my healthcare website), one of the questions to choose was:
"What was your first phone number?" So, I would be careful what you put out there... Also, another question was: "What was your nickname" |

We had EL (Elgin) 6 - ####, forgot the four digits, this was from the Broomall, PA area. I remember my parents and grandparents talking about the party lines, but as I recall we actually had our own line, this was about 1950 or so.
