Abbreviations - What Were They?????
| We can remember when the phone system was getting so many new customers that they went from 5 digit numbers in Chattanooga to 7 digits. That was done by adding 2 numbers in the front of existing numbers. Those first 2 letters were of words selected by the phone company. Example phone number 23456 may have been changed to MA-23456. What word MA represent? Answer: Madison! Answers appear at the bottom for those I remember. Scroll way down. If there are some you know please email me.
