Tacoma Washington Automobile Supply Co. 757 S.C. St Real Photo Postcard

The Savage Scofield Co. truck exemplifies early 20th-century heavy commercial vehicles, likely used for construction or materials hauling given its robust build, solid rubber tires, and contents. Such trucks, often with chain-drive systems visible on this model, were pivotal in replacing horse-drawn transport during the 1910s and 1920s, marking a significant advancement in industrial logistics. The prominent signage for an Automobile Supply Co. underscores the rapid growth of the nascent automotive industry and its supporting infrastructure.
