It might help to know that the main number, back in the days of 
ALgonquin 4-5678, was AL 4-5670, and that that number dates all the way 
back to the move to Soldiers Field Road in 1948. (The number at the 
Hotel Bradford was HANcock 4261, for whatever that's worth.)

The 787-7xxx centrex office numbers didn't come in until the late 
seventies or maybe the early eighties. I'm pretty sure the 787 exchange 
postdates the STadium 3- numbers in the area by many years.
