Trad'r Bill, can you provide a date for that BW ad?

Area codes were first used by AT&T in 1951, does anyone know when the US stopped using the first two letters of the city for area codes such as TW3-0333?
I know I still heard them being used when I was a kid in the late 1960s but were gone by 69 or 70 I believe

I guess someone from Oakland area could go to the Tribune or the main library and try to look up these names
Pianist - Barron Moss

Managers
Lloyd Chang
Bill Hoo

Hosts
Gordon Corson
Harold Andreason Jr.

I'm not a member of Classmates but if anyone else here is they can contact Lloyd Chang
and see if he is the same one listed on the matchbook, based on graduating in 1959 he may have been too young to be the manager?

Could this be the same Gordon Corson?

he'd be 75 yrs old now and 28 in 1964 when his paintings were winning awards and would have made a great host at a Tiki Bar?
