- Pacific Bell probably has a historical department that could answer
- your question.

- If you are interested in looking at old telephone directories, your
- local library may have them on microfilm. (In Canada, the Metro
- Toronto Reference Library has a complete set of all Bell Canada
- telephone directories ever issued on microfilm.) It's interesting to
- look at a 1953 directory in which today's office-park suburbs show up
- as farming communities with manual telephone service.
