Scope and content
Phillip Cammarano sat at the wheel of the Cammarano Brothers' new Diamond T delivery truck in July of 1954 while it was parked in front of their building at 2307 A Street. The company's name was proudly displayed in a circular crest on the driver's side door. The Cammarano Brothers were distributors for Hamms, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and Rainier Beers as well as carbonated beverages. Their warehouse on A Street was built in 1937 by MacDonald Building Co., contractors, and had been designed by local architectural firm, Lance & Muri. The Cammarano Brothers company closed at the end of May in 2001 after 80 years in the beverage distribution business. TPL-9473
