Looks more like 30s Laura since the job was practically dead by the 1940s. Love the history art as always Tom.๐
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.
