In the May 9, 1989, Wall Street Journal, Microsoft advertised:

"... But we'd rather show you.  So write, or simply call us at
(800)323-3577, Dept. J53, and ask for the free Working Model of
Microsoft Excel ..."

(I presume the department number was probably to tell them which
publication the call was in response to.)
