Re: Looked in our phone books...
In Response To: Phones Jean No. 1 and No. 2 ()

In the 1945 phone book...there's no listings for Jean. (This is a state-wide directory)

Our next book is 1950. It's listed kind of funny...let's see if I can format this....

JEAN NO 1

Simon P A, Agent..............................Call Long Distance

JEAN NO 2

Simon P A, Agent..............................Call Long Distance

grin HEY...it worked!! grin

The listing stayed that way for 1951 & 1952. Our next book is 1955, when it looked like this:

JEAN No. 1

Pop's Oasis Motel, Agent.....................Call Long Distance

JEAN No. 2

Simon P A, Agent.....................................Call Long Distance
Simon Rainbow Quarries, Agent.......Call Long Distance

That listing stayed the same for 1956. Then Nevada stopped using state-wide directories.

The next directory we have that shows Jean is 1969. This listing is for "Pop's Oasis Garage & Motel" and the phone number is 874-2201.

The next one is 1973. It has a listing for "Pop's Oasis Garage & Motel" and a listing for "Pop's Oasis Restaurant & Bar". Separate listings, but the same phone number: 874-1381.

Those listings stayed the same through 1989, in the books that I checked.
