Southern Bell Ladies …
This was made when Southern Bell had a grand opening for their building on Belmont Street in downtown Pensacola back in the 1950’s. I have several other photos from this event that I will post later. They really let you know how far we have advanced in the fifty-five years or so. If anyone was there that night and to share it with us, please feel free. Thanks for looking and please check back … Frank

As usual, all comments are appreciated and thanks for looking … and thanks for putting up with my attempt at humor … Frank
Southern Bell Wall Phone …
These are several new photos that I have never posted before. The one above shows this service technician installing a wall phone. This was made in the early 1950’s, so this could have been for an ad showing the new ” wall phone ” from Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Notice how the lady of the house is having to use the hand – crank on the side to power the telephone? The marvels of new technology! Next thing you know Southern Bell will be offering different colors in this wall phone, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves now. This was before my time, so if anyone remembers these phones, please let us hear from you. Thanks for looking …
