Why is it 'Will Call'?

Sorry, I’m sure this has been asked and answered but I am having a brain cramp and can’t figure an intelligent way to query this without coming up with tons of false positives.

What is the origin of the term “Will Call” for the place you pick up tickets, etc?

I always assumed that it meant you will call on them to pick up the tickets instead of having them sent to you.

Are you aware of the meaning of “call” as “to make a brief visit” (called to pay his respects, called on a friend. the ship made a port call)?

Because they will call…later.
