Our first phone number was Geneva 83885. You dialed GE83885 -- but all the
numbers had words at the beginning like that.

The local cab company was Garfield 83885. It was on all the cabs, driving all
over town. I knew our phone number from listening to my parents say: "NO -
this is GENEVA 83885 not GARFIELD 83885 and we aren't the taxi company."
Sometimes people would argue and my dad would finally say, "Okay, we'll send
a cab now," and just hang up.
