UL-5-6463, Joe's Superette
At first I thought this establishment was weirdly named "Joe's S Perette." Alas, missing a letter U, this old sign for "Joe's Superette" is cornered by a sign showing what is either its old ULster or ULysses telephone exchange phone number.
Hedgecock Florist, Rego Park
I spotted this old phone number on the falling-apart sign of Hedgecock Florist on Queens Boulevard in Rego Park. According to the Telephone Exchange Name Project HA stood for HAvemeyer. In today's numbering this phone number (HAvemeyer 9-9400) is (718) 429-9400.
ILlinois 7-1122. Party Time on Queens Boulevard
This ILlinois telephone exchange number lingers somewhat mysteriously over a garage door on Queens Boulevard. It is the old format phone number for Party Time, a party supply store which has evidently been at this location a long time. The modern version of their phone number is (718) 457-1122?.
