I've got that book. It is a good one, especially for you if you got it cheap at the swap meet, plus you got a poster free inside!

The picture of the farmer with the salt blocks in his truck shows us that the bed wood was painted the truck body color. That is a neat picture.

I love the Telephone utility box. Would love to have one on
a Monkey face Merc. I remember seeing these almost daily
when I was a youngin. Seems they was always out looking
like they was working. I remember them as yellow in NW
Washington on the peninsula.

The salt block picture cracked me up with the potential conversation they thought the two might be having.

That is one of the nicest examples of a telephone truck I have seen in a long time.

Not a Ford truck but an old Ford all the same.

This was posted on the HAMB today and I thought it was so cool I had to post it here.
Just received an email from a good friend who served in dads outfit.. Thought some of you might enjoy it!
Gd’afternoon Gentlemen;
If any of you ever need a Piper Cub moved, let me know. When the war ended in ’45 one of my Photographer buddies had bought a Piper Cub from a guy in Ft. Meyers, Fla.. He had been in the Service for 3 years and didn’t have a current Pilot’s license, so he had to figure a way to get it home in Baltimore. We got the job done and hauled it 800 miles to Baltimore (photo). Today they probably wouldn’t lets us some of the hiways.
Jack
