The most desirable woman in town and the easiest to find... just call BUtterfield 8

BUtterfield 8 is a 1935 novel written by John O’Hara. The popular novel was adapted into a 1960 film directed by Daniel Mann, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Laurence Harvey. Taylor won an Academy Award for her performance.

The unconventional title of the novel and film (capitalized "B" and "U") derives from the pattern of old telephone exchange names in the United States and Canada. Until the mid-1960's, telephone exchanges were commonly referred to by name instead of by number. BUtterfield 8 was an exchange that provided service to ritzy precincts of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Dialing the letters "BU" equates to 28 on the lettered telephone dial, so "BUtterfield 8" would equate to 288 as the first three digits of a seven-digit phone number.

Thanks Jota!

beautiful job

Wow! Beautiful image and really fun to solve. (It just barely fit on my screen, in smaller mode, which I could do since it was a B&W).

So it it's b&w, 60x60 might work for you? Good to know! Portraits usually turn out a lot better when their hight is 60 or more.
