This is in South Carolina, at a gas station. I was surprised to see it. And from the looks of it, calls can be made from it.

These were the tools of traveling sales reps years ago, before the spread of cell towers and phones. They were the contact nodes back to the offices and forward to the clients. I was one of those sales reps for decades.

They also provided a spot for Clark Kent to change into his Superman costume. 🤣

They also had these things called phone books, and invariably, the number you needed was on the page that someone had torn out.🥴
