Looks more like 30s Laura since the job was practically dead by the 1940s. Love the history art as always Tom.💖
What job is she doing?
Did you ever see that documentary about the "Hello girls"? During World War One, hundreds of female switchboard operators went to France to operate trench telephone exchanges less than a mile of the front lines. At a time when having to wait a few minutes could cost lives (think gas attacks), these women could put through calls in a matter of seconds. They ultimately spent decades fighting for their Veteran status.
I guess after the milkshake incident things didn't work out at the diner.
The reason we have phones that connect automatically is because of a dentist the was losing customers to a rival company because their wife worked at the local switch bord and would contact both numbers to her husband’s phone
Now I'm curious. Do we have evidence of this?
She is so precious
“One ringy-dingy… two ringy-dingy…”
Lovely Laura ❤️❤️❤️
As always she is a cutie 😊
Is she ever not cute?
Nope she is always adorable
Laura is the only fox girl who can crack the enigma code to save thousands of lives in front of Europe.
"Hi, I'm Laura, your Time-Life operator...." "One, ringy-dingy. Two ringy-dingy.... Hello, is this the party I'm speaking to?"
If you get any of these jokes, you're old.
She's super adorable!
