Yesterday I was showing to a visitor where the crank phone was on the wall in our house. I was eight years old when the crank phone went away, to be replaced with a rotary. I don't remember what the longs and shorts was though. Our new number for the rotary was TH3-5501 but was changed to 843-5501 a few years later. The party line went away in the late 70's when the new line was buried.

Then I had to pay the neighbor for the long distance call. Right here where I live I am on Albert City but the neighbor a half mile north was on Sioux Rapids, the neighbor a mile west was on Rembrandt and a neighbor a mile and a half south was on Storm Lake. Today I am still in the middle but it is cell towers.
