From Melbourne's docks where container ships unload their global goods, to North Quay's sugar bags drying in the sun, they have connected the world for centuries. Savings, like growing crops, require time and patience, as each penny adds to the pot. The global marketplace, once limited to local exchanges, has expanded to a world of endless possibilities, as seen in this postcard of the German National Bank in Pittsburgh, ca. 1914. Advertisements, such as this one for Pride Canned Tomatoes from the 1940s, showcase the innovation and reach of businesses, offering convenience and nourishment to consumers near and far.
