On April 3, 1882, town permitted the Los Angeles Phone Co. to string strains inside metropolis limits. Per week later, L.A. printed its first cellphone e-book.

The one, folded sheet lists simply 90 names, largely companies close to historic downtown equivalent to liveries, saloons, physicians, mills, druggists and the native undertaker. Included are directions for calling the central workplace, together with one- and two-digit numbers for USC’s first president, M.M. Bovard (dial “58”), and the Los Angeles Membership (dial “38”).
