Redman - 8/31/2014 22:26 Post below reminded me of the days before long distance. Local groups of neighbours would string wire on the fence line and run from farm to farm.s.
I have heard of it and been told that my uncle had one of those with a neighbour in the late thirties or early fourties. Even though the house already had a working telephone system I think they just rigged one up on the fence lines for fun.
