Scope and content
Garbage truckmen, working for the City of Tacoma, Refuse Collection Division, test the latest type of collection truck, the "Refuse Getter." Before the rear tray loading equipment was adopted by the city, collectors had to lift heavy garbage cans over the top of high-body trucks. (T. Times, 1/20/1937, p. 10).
