For centuries, charms have been used as a medium for superstition, religious beliefs and fashion. The ancient Egyptians first used charm amulets to gain the favor of the gods and to obtain a passage into the afterlife.

That is unless she knew that Doc had gone out to the Strauss's for a house call, then she'd let you know that she could connect you there or that if you wanted, you could just wait about a half an hour until he got back to the office and try again then.
Talk about personalized service?Those were the days of the party line.
You'd have several ? maybe even up to twenty...
