Very different jobs and hardworking women. The first one looks like a black and white picture, coloured later.

My working women are here.

I love the switchboard! One of my postcards today is women working in Mexico.

I must admit that whenever I see telephone operators portrayed Lilly Tomlin's alter ego Ernestine comes to mind.

Lovely postcards.

Hand colouring black and white cards was common - I like the effort, even if they sometimes got it wrong.

And, Lily Tomlin was my first thought too. One ringy-dingy, two ringy-dingies...
