has anyone else seen this little public service announcement on how to use a telephone? it's cute -- a bit long, but really funny & informative. it's from 1927. this film shows the actual cutover date from operator assistance to direct-dial (local only) in fresno & madera, california. my brother (who shares my love of all things 1920s) sent it to me the other day after stumbling upon it on youtube & i just thought i'd share. :D
