Marshall Field’s pneumatic tube system terminal, c.1940’s. These tubes were used to send cash from the sales floor to this location(most likely in the basement), then back to the cashier with change and a receipt.
I remember being a little kid in the 70’s, when these were still in operation. I was mesmerized by the sound they made when they sucked up the canister…
