Jill Lawrence, who actually worked for Bell Canada for 16 years, didn t hesitate when she saw a Toronto phonebook, by the Bell Telephone Company and dating all the way back to 1946, for sale on a Facebook marketplace. This book popped up because the Mission Thrift Shop in Belleville went to an online store and the manager posted the book, Lawrence told blogTO. I got [to Belleville] about two days later and I really couldn t resist opening it as soon as I got in the car.
