Yesterday I was showing to a visitor where the crank phone was on the wall in our house. I was eight years old when the crank phone went away, to be replaced with a rotary. I don't remember what the longs and shorts was though. Our new number for the rotary was TH3-5501 but was changed to 843-5501 a few years later. The party line went away in the late 70's when the new line was buried. In the last few years of the overhead wires and party line the condition of our line wasn't worth a hoot and when the wire would break somewhere along the road I would get the fence stretcher and fix it myself. If the wire was down I couldn't go to the neighbor's house to make the call because their phone was down too so making a call to the company involved going to a neighbor who was on a different exchange and making a long distance call to our home exchange. Then I had to pay the neighbor for the long distance call. Right here where I live I am on Albert City but the neighbor a half mile north was on Sioux Rapids, the neighbor a mile west was on Rembrandt and a neighbor a mile and a half south was on Storm Lake. Today I am still in the middle but it is cell towers.
