In it are many pictures of vehicles in the Detroit area with family business names on the sides. The photos are small, about 3x5 but identified. Following are the names of these from Detroit area. Elliot Taylor, Wool fender co. Heyn's Bazaar, Keenan and Jahn Furniture Summerfield & Hecht, JA Handy Furniture, Posselius Bros Mfg., John R. Sullivan, Parker, Webb and Co.,Grabowsky Marx Market truck,Leonard Storage, Roehl Bros moving, GA Kloetzel Storage, Kelsey Wheel, Otto Misch Contractor, Roehm and Davidson,TB Rayl Co. tools and hardware. The officers of the company were John H Hammes, Ralph S. Moore, Walter T. Sewell and George L. Allen There are a few Brewery trucks pictured as well as some fire rigs from that era. This is a black and white booklet but seems to scan well. If anyone would like to see these family names on a truck, with the Sewell wheel of course!, I would be happy to scan and send.
