Scope and content
ca. 1945. Military Telephone Center. Christmas greenery attempts to bright up the waiting room of this WWII-era military telephone center. Men are patiently waiting their turn to use the center's telephones to contact family and/or friends. The unidentified man standing near the doorway is the telephone center's manager as his armband clearly states. A framed notice on the back wall sternly conveys the message that "It's Your Telephone Center" with rules listed for all to read. This is possibly the telephone call center at Fort Lewis or Camp Murray. Photograph ordered by Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co.
