1920réf. 234641920. Commercial truck photo archive documenting motorized industrial transport in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s when businesses increasingly replaced horse-drawn delivery and rail-dependent local hauling with branded gasoline-powered fleets. The archive records commercial vehicles serving construction suppliers rubber companies bakeries grocers oil and tire service firms newspapers appliance companies and regional contractors across the East Coast and Midwest. These trucks made modern urban and industrial labor faster more mobile and more visible carrying company names through city streets while linking factories job sites warehouses and consumer markets. Photo archive of 40 large silver gelatin photographs each 8 x 10 inches United States circa 1920s-1930s. Trucks appear posed outside dealerships factories quarries service garages storefronts and company buildings with visible signage for businesses including Quaker Rubber Corporation Needham's Motor Service Liebman's General Electric Capparrell Construction Co. Charleston Daily Mail Carter Berkeley Co. and General Tire & Rubber Co. Vehicles include dump trucks panel delivery trucks refrigerator service trucks construction supply trucks newspaper delivery vehicles and commercial vans many with painted company lettering and product advertising. Several images appear staged for catalogue or promotional use showcasing staged vehicle bodies dump beds fleet arrangements chassis design cargo capacity and business-specific customization. The archive shows how trucking became a defining technology of interwar American industry especially for construction retail distribution and service labor that required movement beyond fixed rail lines. By the 1920s and 1930s commercial fleets allowed contractors to move sand gravel tools and materials directly to expanding roads suburbs and building sites while branded delivery trucks turned transportation into public advertising. The repeated construction and supply vehicles make the archive especially strong for documenting the equipment behind Depression-era and New Deal-period building roadwork and urban maintenance.

Tan-coloured illustrated softcovers cover art of United Motors truck in blue black & tan front cover yapp fore-edges minor soiling to far right fore-edge slight shelfwear still VG copy. First edition of this very scarce dealer’s showroom catalogue for the pre-World War I United Motors Co. filled with factory photos advertising their innovative 6-ton tractor and semi-trailer configurations as considerable cost savings. For 2/3 of the cost of a 5-ton truck the retailer shipper etc. could field a tractor and trailer for less than $ 3300.00. Founded originally as the United Motor Trucks Co. before World War I as a division of the United Light & Railways Co. conglomerate to not only produce trucks and utility vehicles for their own needs but to meet burgeoning demand brought on by improving roads and fast-growing commercial demands before and after World War I. By 1922 Hulswit Kanary and Eckburg were building and selling United Trucks powered by a four-cylinder Continental Engine the lightest model featuring a worm drive and the others often fitted still with chain drives moving to shaft drive and by 1925 would be manufacturing what they called the “Highway Special.” Hulswit 1875-1933 was the president and organizer of the United Light & Railways Co. which held 13 railroad and public service gas & electric utilities and corporations in five states and was forced out of his company in 1926. By that time Kanary had decamped to Hollywood California and the truck manufacturing unit was spun off to ACME Motor Truck Co. of Cadillac MI which continued the badge for a short time. Advertisements for their truck line cease by 1928. Very few of the original company catalogues survive some business records and material can be found in the Austin Automobile Co.

1906réf. 57483Grand Rapids MI: Couple-Gear Freight-Wheel Co. Holson Motor Patent Co. Ltd. ca. 1906. Seven cyanotype photographs sized 7.25 x 9.25 in. to 7.75 x 9.5 in. w/ negative numbers w/in image at lower corner and four numbered as a series slight toning at fore-edges edgewear still bright contrast and clarity. Fascinating and remarkably scarce salesman sample cyanotype photographs by an early innovator in electric-powered vehicles. Heavy duty hauling trucks were a significant problem for reliability and maneuverability in the first decade of the 20th-Century because they were so slow terrible fuel economy and restricted to wider streets. Church & Knudson developed a unique electromechanical propulsion system called the “Gyroscope Motor” which allowed all four wheels to steer and eliminated a differential gear originally at 2 horsepower each. Initially manufactured as the Holson Motor Patent Co. they changed it to Couple-Gear Freight-Wheel Co. in 1906 and began manufacturing and selling their heavy electric powered trucks capable of a 40 mile radius between charges. The one to two-ton trucks were front-wheel driven and steered and could haul significant loads while the 5-ton models had four-wheel steering four-wheel drive and four-wheel brakes. These cyanotype images show a series of 2-ton Holson trucks hauling electric power house parts with two of them distinctly having African-American teamsters working on the rigs. Other images show an electric-gasoline generator hybrid hauling timber similar to those developed for hauling the telescope parts up to the Mt. Wilson Observatory in California; a Couple-Gear stave truck hauling a large industrial part for The Bennke & Co. coal company which changed their name in 1907 to the Polonia Coal Co.; and finally a U.S. Armory truck with company logo painted on the side of the vehicle. The Couple-Gear Freight-Wheel Co. continued in business until 1922.
