CONTINUED FROM THIS MORNING....

Grandmother's phone, like I said, was on the left wall of the living room

after walking thru the kitchen. If you wanted to make a call to someone

you picked up the thing (it looked like a small barbell but, of course, it

was a lot lighter. This is what you listen into and was not attached

permanently, but held in a holder attached to the phone box by a

telephone cord. The telephone box was rectangular being about 1 foot

at the top and bottom and about 2 feet long on each side. There was

something like a small megaphone attached permanently to the box

that you spoke into and something like a doglegged handle that you

could wind clockwise to dial up the operator....

American banner flag that hangs above and to the right of the front door.

It needs to be hung at a 45 degree angle or else it will wrap around it self.

I also wanted to go to PostNet that mails letters, packs, applies postage and

ships packages, sells greeting cards and postcards and other services that

I'm not familiar with yet. I bought some potcards of Amish living who live

just one county south of the county we live in (Wayne)....
