Scope and content
Rucker Bros. Twin Service Trucking Co., owned and operated by Murrell and Burrell Rucker, hauled lumber for many local lumber companies. They shared space with the St. Paul & Tacoma retail lumber yard which made transporting the wood easier and more convenient. Loads on the four Rucker Bros. trucks pictured here on July 3, 1954, are apparently headed for a Farwest Homes location. Farwest Homes specialized in prefabricated housing which was quick to build and less expensive than custom-made homes.
