Party Line Co-Operation

March 22, 1949, Menasha Record

During this period while we battle the coronavirus, a time in which our civic leaders have implored us to be patient and kind to our fellow citizens, we hearken back to an era of basic phone etiquette guidelines which were published by the actual phone company.  I, too, remember people listening in to our party line phone calls and the frustration of having the line tied up when desiring to make a call.  But just as it was back then, we have courteous neighbors and those not so kind in today's world.  Just a reminder that courtesy is always in style, no matter the situation, be it in line at a grocery, or just waiting to park your car.
