I do not  believe that 800  numbers existed in 
1965.  In fact, Wikipedia  (I don't want to start one of  those 
you-can't-trust-Wikipedia  threads, either) says that "Toll-free calling  
originated on May 2,  
1967 by AT&T."  An April Fool's joke?   Who  knows!

Bill,  That was my take on it as well.  Either it is an April  Fool joke or 
someone added the sticker later.  I worked for  Ma Bell  in '69 and '70 in 
marketing and AT&T's 800 numbers were  still relatively new then as well.
