New Development in Modern Banking

[TalonD]

This isn't really forex related, more to do with banking practices but thought I would share it.

In Denver Colorado a bank now offers curb service. A motorist wishing to cash a check drives up to a device which has a two-way telephone, periscope and conveyor. He telephones the cashier, sending in his check via the conveyor. By aid of the periscope the two see each other. If the check is good, the money comes back by conveyor.

-Readers Digest, December 1936

Believe it or not I saw with my own eyes a place where they do the same thing with food!!!!

I was going through some old stuff that my mom had and found this 1936 reader's digest. It's interesting to read something from way back then

I read and watch allot of old scifi and its cool to realize how much of what was considered science fiction even 50 years ago is now common place, like this conversation on the interweb. My oldest daughter asked me the other day why we say "dial the phone"

thats funny, I remember growing up we had a party line and everyone on the line had a different ring. So you could pick up the phone and listen in on the neighbors conversations !
and we had a television antenna on the roof ! Things sure have changed!
