Elaine, "Me. 2723" is no doubt a phone number - MEtropolitan 2723.Most small towns used a word as the exchange (EXecutive, FEderal, NAtional, etc) for the first 2 digits to make it easier for the residents to remember numbers.The 6-digit place system was in use until 1953 when the phone company jumped to 7 digits.When the change was made, all residents and business were assigned new numbers.So your card was likely written before 1953.
