a Colourful Conversation Piece
Illustration from the back cover of the 1971 Saint John phonebook.
For those of you too young to remember, this is a TELEPHONE, from
the days when phones were just for phonecalls. That round thing in
the middle is called a 'dial' (later replaced by pushbuttons) and they
even had a name for this particular model: the "Contempra". After all, it really WAS quite contemporary back in 1971!
