I used a NO dial telephone in my youth. You just picked up the handset and the human operator said, “Number, please.” My dad worked for a store which had the number “1”. Ours was 361J (361R was the other house on our party line).
Seems like it was Reverend Ike, back in the 70’s, who said the lack of money was the root of all evil. So naturally, you should send him plenty, just in case.
