Read moreMany readers of the Allen Advocate will remember the old crank telephones that hung on a wall. They served their purpose for a time. What I remember about them was that they must have been difficult for a person to hear good on them, especially if someone from a party line was connected and listening to your conversation. I heard my dad many times holler into the phone or ask the nosy listener to get off the line. For some reason I never wanted to use that phone, Anyway, it was so high on the wall, I would have had to get a chair to be able to use it. Though I never used it, I can still remember our number, 1608f12, on the party line, our number was two longs rings and a short ring. Anyone remember what two letters Allen had to start the local phone numbers?
