A 1959 telephone book advertisement for Pepito & Joanne Theatrical Arts is pictured above. I unearthed this little gem at the Santa Ana Public Library History Room a few years back.
Pepito & Joanne’s phone number was KImberly3-0393 from the 1940s until the time of Joanne’s passing in 2004.
Do you know how to translate KImberly3-0393 into a seven digit phone number?
Are you familiar with dialing a rotary telephone?
Bonus points if you know why the area code wasn’t included in the phone number or the advertisement.
