The back cover reads as follows:

Believe it or not, there was a time in our country when people did not lock their doors. It was a sweet, gentle time when people trusted one another. It was a time when a woman would let a strange man in her front door just because he was wearing side tools. The "telephone man" was the most trusted service worker of that day. It was probably due to the innocence of the times as well as the respect given to the people of the old Bell System. This is a collection of stories from a few "just old telephone men". If you are or were ever a telephone man or woman, they should bring a chuckle or a smile. If you were not, they may make you wish you had been.
