While looking through old Oklahoma City newspapers, we came across a Hahn-Cook/Street & Draper listing from 1968.
The phone number caught our attention:
VI 8-3744
At the time, telephone numbers were often written using named exchanges. On a telephone dial, the letters โVIโ represented the numbers 8 and 4.
VI 8-3744 became 848-3744.
And today?
(405) 848-3744.
The building has changed. Oklahoma City has changed. The way we communicate has certainly changed.
But for at least 58 years, families have been able to reach Hahn-Cook/Street & Draper using the same seven digits.
