REACH OUT! Remember those classic commercials for the phone company that urged you to "reach out and touch someone"? Here's one from the WPIX Archives from October 1979, for New York Telephone, part of the Bell System. Back in those days — well before the smartphone and the web— VERY EXPENSIVE phone calls were the only way to stay in touch, short of mail or telegram. My, how times have changed!
