interesting contrast of transportation methods, and eras, that the UPS company has existed in.

UPS got into the parcel delivery service in 1907, with bicycles, and in 1913 bought its first Model T







Before the 1950s, UPS wasn’t allowed to deliver packages in between both private customers and commercial ones (like department stores). Then, they acquired something called “common carrier rights”. Those rights made UPS the US Postal Service’s biggest competitor.
