PAGE 10, THE HERALD, Thursday, May 25, 1978 _ 148 telephones in collection WINNIPEG (CP) — Neil McLellan has telephones hanging on walls, slitting on shelves and stored in boxes, Altogether he has 148 in his collection, along with a wide assortment of other telephonic memorabilia, The 33-year-old bachelor’s interest in collecting telephones began when he was 12.

The monctary value is second to the thrill of the find." McLellan now is toying with the idea of finding a rmanent home for his sources; People know he isa used to be packel in collection, BUSINESS DIRECTORY 30 Ton Truck - Hydraulic Cranes -20 Ton R.T.
