Scope and content
May, 1967, view of Airways Rent-A-Truck with lift at Titus-Will Ford building construction site, 3606 So.Sprague. This rented truck came equipped with a hoist capable of lifting heavy pallets or wrapped building materials. It appears that the wrapped packages, possibly roofing material, could therefore be moved onto rooftops with ease due to the truck's lifting capabilities. Titus-Will had opened a used car mall on So. Sprague north of the Tacoma Mall and west of I-5 the previous year. The construction pictured above was part of the new 10.5 acre Ford Center where new cars and a complete service department would be situated. Photograph ordered by First National Auto Leasing.
