Sconce Advertising. A freight car, with the slogan Everywhere West painted on it, is being unloaded. Boxes and crates cover the loading platform. Titus Motor Company's order of Ford parts valued at $50,000 filled an entire freight car. Ralph (Jake) Jacobson, parts manager for Titus Motor Company, with pencil and paper, completes checklist with Dick Thomas, local terminal foreman for Consolidated Freightways. Sam Bratton, Freightways employee, is seen wheeling a load from the freight car. (T.Times, 7/10/1947, p.20) (Additional information provided by a reader)
