The reliable Rowland Dry Goods Go. of Bridgeport have introduced a pneu- matic tube cash system which pro- vides the company with the opportu nifty of saving customers time in wait- ing for change after purchases are made and is a decided improvement that patrons of the store to-day were quick to appreciate and remark about. The system is practically invisible. There are 50 tubes and as many sta tiOns. The tubes extend from the counters to the cashiers office in the basement. Through these tubes con- pressed air is forced and cylinder shaped cash carriers are merely dropped into the tube and they travel at the rate of 50 feet per second. The cash carriers have felt ends and are opened by a simple tWitch of the hands. Thye are rushed to the cashiers desk, where there are from three to six cashiers at work making change and dropping the carriers back into the tubes. The rapidity with which change is made is marvellous. The new system is noise less and has the natural advantage ot drawing the impure air out of the store into the tube and then carrying it through an l8-inch exhaust pipe to the top of the Sanford building. The system is the first of it's kind to be uSeC in Bridgeport and is the largest in the state, between two and three miles ol
 tubing being used for it. The old cable system is to be taken down at once.
 The store is in holiday attire now and
 holiday shoppers will have the advan
 tage of getting change practically a
 quick as if there Was cash drawer al l each counter.
