Two things are
strange to me in this ad
1) the
location is wrong because it was at the corner of 7th and Oka Road
2) The telephone number is a Laval West phone number as it starts with
National 7 instead of Granite 3 (ask your parents about this)
#2 Explained by Christine Neumayer. At one time, they
assigned 627 number to the Two Mountains area to save long distance
calls. They stopped doing that not long after.
I guess Bell thought they were losing money not collecting for long
distance. If I remember correctly, Montreal was even long distance from
2mo back then but not from Laval West. The still applies to the West
Island now (unless you have a 514 cell phone.
