Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ wartime ad that makes certain that the general public knows that the trucking industry, mostly using Fruehauf trailers is responsible for handling the problem of “How to Unite Scattered Factories”. Thompson Products is used as an example due to it having six factories scattered over a five-mile area in Cleveland. The ad claims that six Fruehauf trailers are going full time hauling materials from plant to plant so that products can be finished and shipped to the soldiers who need them. The ad calls attention to the fact that they can Carry Big Loads, their Maneuverability is a big asset and that using them as a Shuttle Service saves time and money. The ability of Fruehauf trailers to keep up with the need is considered part of the reason that Thompson Products has received the Army-Navy “E” award.
