We didn't have caller ID in those days but we didn't receive telemarketing calls, either! It was wonderful.

Art is very Saturday Evening Post. $1 in 1957 is about $8.75 today. "Hurry up, it's Long Distance calling!" $26 for the first 3 minutes!pic.twitter.com/U0E2ZObNdG

Expensive. Look at those rates in 1957. I remember the first push-button phones. Big innovation at the time.

Long distance. I remember those days. Before your phone bill was $100/month. In fairness, those big jobs didn't take very good pictures.
