You know what's weird (in a way)? My parents were born just 17 and 18 years after this footage was filmed. That's equivalent to the passage of time since 2006/07 to today. When my parents were small, there were both horses/carriages and automobiles on the roads, and most roads in their regions were dirt. In the 1920s, one of my parent's family had one of the only automobiles in that town. My grandparents were born in the 1870s- 80s: they witnessed the industrial revolution, saw the entrance of electricity, "wireless" (radio), telephones, "movie houses" (theaters), airplanes, and all of the electric appliances that came, electric fans, refrigerators, electric stoves, electric washers and dryers, televisions, and all the rest. The telegraph preceded them, and the rail, but not much more than that. It just seems strange that only two generations before me saw all of that, that my grandparents dressed exactly as we saw in this video, that they were young adults at that time. 🤔
One was probably for local mail, and the other for distance mail. That would have been efficient, as that would allow them to be pre-sorted. Decades later, there were two, one for airmail and one for standard.
That's what I think too. The postman stashes the contents of the smaller box in a different place in his bag. He basically shovels the mail from the big box into the main area of his bag.
Incrível a técnica usada ... dá medo pensar que a humanidade, num futuro distante, pudesse voltar ao seu passado ou sentir saudades do futuro ... dá muito medo.
That was the mailman, and they wore suits of a very similar sort (with an abbreviated waist-length jacket) until the 1980s+, though I'm not sure of the year. I'm just using my own recollections to remember. You can get a decent look if you watch the 1980s sitcom *_"Cheers"_* (here on TH-cam or elsewhere) of the character called "Cliff Clavin" who was a mailman in the show's setting (Boston).
The constant noise of those horses walking (clip-clop) or trotting (clippity-clop) all day and some of the night, probably drove some people insane back then.
Our mailmen have never worn T-shirts, . . shorts, yes, but with regular button-down short-sleeved shirts that are all part of their uniform. (We are in the desert Southwest where sweating is renown in the summer.)
a pretty large degree of civility . . It was seen as shameful to behave in a less than civil manner, even into the 1980s. People didn't want to lose the respect of their peers, whether they knew them or not. They behaved with self-respect and respect for others.
Howdy 🤠👋@Glamourdaze I Wonder 📪What The✉ Postman💌 Would Think of 2024? Such as Email/Text/Etc.?You Did a Pristine 🙏Job of Recreating 1903 'LIFE' Back much😇 Simpler!!! Enjoy Your 🌸🌞🌷🌺Today...
They wouldn't like it. While they would be impressed and amazed at the technology, they would not like (at all) what has become of society, its rudeness/meanness, incivility and corruption. They very much valued civility, and saw it as being more important than things. Even in the 1970s we valued civility more than material objects.
Why? That (location) climate was not often hot. That uniform would have been made out of thin wool which breathes very well, insulates the body regardless of the outside temperature (keeping cooler in heat and warmer in cold), and also wicks moisture. It would have been comfortable and would have offered professional decorum and recognizability, as all uniforms did. Even current-day FedEx couriers wear uniforms that involve a coat in cooler weather. Uniforms allowed people to be recognized for the jobs they did, increasing the trust in the community.
And if Oasis had used this method to get tickets out to punters...people wouldn't be moaning in the UK at the minute!. Something to be said for good old reliable "snail-mail" and the pace of life and reliability of the post back then!.
For the sake of young readers that want to know: Self-respect was an all-important *_(huge)_* player that people now don't realize. Since 1990 in particular, many don't care whether they respect themselves, or if others respect them. They're willing to behave badly for false pride, and in so doing, they damage their own self-respect and that of others, which results in broken trust. It has destroyed the sense of community, common interest in the common good, and cooperation, consideration of others. What a person *_(honestly)_* thinks of themselves matters (not false pride), and what others think of them also matters. Without respect and trust, we don't have anything to work with. One can't 'command' or demand others to respect them, it has to be earned, and that means behaving respectably. (People can wisely choose to behave with respect whether another earns it or not, but they won't actually feel that respect unless one behaves respectably.) One can't live in a nice-looking place if they don't take care of it.
@@cacatr4495 The demographic changed. The descendants of the people in the film still have the utmost dignity, morals, and respect for others & their community. However, they are no longer the only ones living in that neighborhood.
@@Vid7872 Almost any people-group can be comprehensively taught and trained to respect themselves and others, morals and ethics, and almost any people-group can be taught the opposite, which has since been done. It can be seen through the decades through various means.
Wow, from this tiny snippet you can deduce there are no graffiti anywhere? There certainly were, graffiti have been around since forever! And if you specifically mean tags and murals: They didn't have spray paint after all. We don't know how the cities would have looked like if they did...
It depended on where it was going, the distance and difficulty involved. In the same town or city, it would only be a day or two, whereas nearby cities might have taken a week, and across the country, by rail, it might have taken a month. (For reference/comparison, when I was small, in the 1960s, it could take 2 - 6 weeks to receive something ordered, and people were accustomed to longer shipping times. Airmail was fast, for obvious reasons, and standard mail traveled quite well, but shipping times were significantly longer than we've seen in the last 40 years.) (Another notable difference, off-topic to your query, was that in the early 1960s and prior eras, grocery stores did not carry the 'exotic' fruit and produce to which we've since become accustomed. The enlargement of shipping vessels and routes made a big impact to what grocery stores could carry without too much spoilage. Before shipping improvements, one didn't see mango, papaya, kiwi, jicama, coconut, tropical or Asian fruit (all of *_that was new_* to us), or even all that many pineapples. Produce and fruit was more locally sourced and in season, never exotic nor out of season. Shipping took a large upswing around 1970, and again in the early to mid-eighties as freight companies stepped up their game, and Federal Express came on the scene, the first to bring in tracking.)
