Highway Truck Co. (Tacoma);

ca. 1938. Highway Truck Equipment Company; interior of machine shop. Phillip Bechtholt and his brother John (L-R) stand behind a flatbed trailer for a large truck. The company was owned by John P. Bechtholt and was listed in the 1938 City Directory as an auto wrecking company. They were located at 3224 South Tacoma Way. It is possible that the company also rebuilt wrecked trucks, however their advertisement in the 9/30/1938 Tacoma Times identified them as manufacturers of hoists and bodies for dump trucks, trailers of all types, alterations of trucks and brake installations.
