Another Brucker Fence. LOwell-8-6700.Seen in Englewood, New Jersey. At first I thought LO might be LOngacre, since that what it is in NYC. Wrong. In NJ LO stood for LOwell.

J De Martino Sea Food, COlumbus phone exchange
The COlumbus phone exchange can be seen on this old sign at the J. De Martino Seafood on 9th Avenue in Manhattan. How many times had I seen this sign before cracking the code and noticing that the phone number started with letters and not numbers?

I must have walked past this Ambassador Terrace sign a thousand times without noticing the LOngacre telephone exchange number hiding at the bottom. D. spotted this sign, which also shows a street address in the format used before the USPS introduced ZIP codes.
STillwell 4-2468. Henri Billharz Inc. Plumbing & Heating
According to the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce web site (link no longer works): “Billharz Plumbing, Inc. has been family-owned and operated for three generations since 1927 – Henri X. Billharz, Robert H. Billharz and Henri J. Billharz are licensed and certified.” One of the signs on the Billharz Plumbing building still shows its exchange name number of STillwell 4-2468, but in these modern times the number is (718) 784-2468. You can also reach Billharz Plumbing at billharzplumbing.com.
