“Candlestick” phones weren’t around in McKinley’s time. Then, there was that old-fashioned “box” phone that you had to crank up to reach an operator. Only a few places had them: offices or general stores, mostly.
Makes me wonder if better phone service might have saved McKinley when he was fatally shot in 1901.
