Dials? I remember phones without dials where you picked them up and gave the two or three digit extension that you wanted. Presumably newcomers had four digit numbers. Of course, urban areas at the time did have dials with five digit numbers and a named exchange. HEmlock, and LIberty are two that I remember.
I remember Evergreen.
