My dad collects matchbooks, I thought these ones were funny so I snatched them and scanned them. Good jobs for your friends! Pleasant working conditions!
Heck, these matchbooks make me want to be a telephone girl… where do I sign up?
They are just so quaint and cute.
Tell your friends!
Vital to national defense!
Be a Belle Bringer!

Amazing that there are so many different ones themed to working for the phone company.
I absolutely love vintage matchbooks. I have literally thousands of them, all stashed away in huge plastic boxes. I haven’t looked at them in probably 20 years. I can’t even bring myself to pop the lid open or I’ll be sitting there for a month. I know I have the matches in your top photo but don’t recognize the other ones.
Beautiful matches always made me want to smoke.

These are great, Nessa! A little bit of history in each tiny matchbook. What strikes me most (no pun intended) is the frequent use of the word, “girl” when referring to grown women.
