Richmond, Virginia (C&P Telephone, a BOC) used 113 for Information and
114 for Repair Service until at least the mid-'60s.  They eventually
changed to 411 and 611, and may have changed yet again.

Back then, I could also reach the weather recording by dialing
9xx-xxxx; since I was using a dial phone at the time, I usually
dialled 911-1111.  I suspect that no longer works....
