Another winner (this time mixed live action and animation comedy) from
the AT&T Video Archive.  This one from 1961, dealing with the
controvseries surrounding the "number exhaustion" ("All Digit
Dialing") transitions of the era.  No more Bubbling Brook 7 ...
No more Murray Hill 5!

For a somewhat more critical exploration of the issue from the same
period, don't miss Allan Sherman's "Let's All Call Up AT&T and Protest
To The President March":
