Having been a Gentex telegrapher from 1962 to 1969 (31068 GV NL), and having
enjoyed that job big time, it makes me a bit sad. Western Union had a
regular office in Holland (12650 WU NL), just like Commercial (22106 CIAL
NL). Commercial folded already in the early 70's, if I recall correctly.
IMPERIAL didnt have an office in Holland, we were served from Belgium.
Well, a big NNNN to them...
