At a business, a secretary, almost always a woman, would answer the phone for all calls. There were no direct lines into anyone. If you were in she would transfer the call to your office. If you were out she would use this pad to take messages. When you came back in to the office you would always stop at the front desk and you would be handed your messages.
What are the m and of lines for?
My guess would be Mr or Mrs of XYZ Company.
That’s correct
Mr or Mrs
That’s silly when they already have a for line…
Messages are often both for someone and from someone else.
Haha yeah thanks!
