I still have and use my slammer model.
Oh, for the good old days
I remember that as well. Growing up in rural West Texas we were on a party line. Still remember - two shorts and a long was ours. Not many folks now a days even knows what that is.
When I was a kid, you could pick up the phone and hold it. The operator would come on and say operator. I could say I want to talk to Aunt Lynn and she might say she went to the grocery store and would be home in about an hour. Then ask how I was doing.
Lol, y'all are OLD!!!!!! I remember some of that!
That is too new fangled, we had the hand crank which I still have!!! Ours was 2 longs and a short ring also! EB

Oh for a much simpler time. We didn't have email or instant anything. The Goverment wasn't into building cars. You didn't have to pay to watch commercials on tv. Companies actually stood by the promises they made to employees. Laws dealing with hunting and fishing weren't written in such a way as to confuse people.
Even the commercials were much simpler. For instance
