Did they have this style phone # before it burnt down? My older matchbooks have the old style phone # on them. Geneva 0= GE 0 = 430 - So the prefix was the same. I remember they used to make up words like that for phone number prefixes in the 50's and 60's And this matchbook appears to be from the 60's judging by the rendering of the building. Man, I wish they still had a sign like that.
