Looks more like 30s Laura since the job was practically dead by the 1940s. Love the history art as always Tom.💖
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.
