Telephone operators at Fort Custer, c. 1950 Caption on back: RUSH HOUR IN A MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE CENTER Activity in each Telephone Center reaches a peak when servicemen go off-duty and swarm to make calls FORT CUSTER, BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN Written on back: We take turns at each different position. One night I take calls to places all over the U.S. & write it up on a ticket. Then pass it back to the operator & they go ahead & plan the call. The next night I am an operator & maybe next night cash. It really is fun. (A friend of ours sent me this who now lives in Calif.)
