The following is from a sales brochure dated 1945.
In 1880, to speed the flow of cash in his small notion store in Lowell, Massachusetts, William S. Lamson invented a carrier system. He sawed croquet balls in two, hollowed them out, and rolled them in inclined wooden troughs from the sales counter to the cashiers desk... Such was the birth of the world-wide carrier, conveyor and pneumatic tube service which bears the name "Lamson."
