Wed, 15 Dec 2010 22:27:31 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=9498#comment-36417 I was wondering about how widespread telephones were in 1938. A quick search found a Census Bureau page–one in five homes had no phone in 1960! In the South the phone-less home rate was double that, and Mississippi was at 55%.

I’ll have to ask my dad if he remembers when they got a phone in their home in Snowflake.

I really liked it for its period flavor — can’t you just see this as a black-and-white movie starring Katherine Hepburn and either Cary Grant or Spencer Tracy, with a couple of the cutest little moppets who never seemed to be in short supply in 1930s Hollywood?
