I found one.  A Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph (LTT) directory in
Lincoln, Nebraska (yes, that's an independent company), lists the
country code for United States as 1 with a footnote saying that it's
only for calling back to the US from other countries.  It's in the
ordinary list of country and city codes, correctly alphabetized.  Only
place I've ever seen it printed in USA.
