	When I was a kid during the 50's, I can distinctly remember that the
information operator (old 411) could give out telephone listings by street
number.  This service seems to have disappeared after the great NNN-XXXX
conversion, which in my area was around 1960.  There was also a lot less
concern about personal privacy in the 50's!
