Calling 'ORchard,' 'NEptune'

Back in the days when your telephone hung on the wall or sat on a table and a "party line" didn't necessarily have to do with politics, you might pick up the receiver - making sure nobody else was using the line - and say something like, "Hello, Operator? Please connect me to NEptune 9-3278." The Back Mountain was served by Commonwealth Telephone, which had its roots in the region, going back to the 1890s.
