1916 ad chides Congress for not investing in pneumatic tubes for first class mail delivery

@Grey_Devil

Also if you have odd sized envelopes that can’t be folded you’d need to mail it the usual way so it seems like it’d be more straightforward to just have a guy deliver the mail, even if it is slower.

Forget mail. I just want one of these systems to deliver burritos.

Can’t be labor costs then as there’s one born every minute.

When and if I ever can build a custom home, it’s going to have pneumatic tubes with end points in the kitchen, the booze cellar, the swimming pool kitchen area and the recycling bin.

In the 1994 adaptation of The Shadow the titular character maintains a secret communications network with his informants via a series of pneumatic tubes.

I’d write a lot more letters if I knew they’d be delivered by pneumatic tube.

I recall one of those shows where they totally renovate a room in an over-the-top fashion (?Monster House?) did a futuristic living room that featured pneumatic tube beer delivery.

My personal wish is for food delivery by pneumatic tube.
