Hiner Auto Service was located at 501 Sylvanie in St Joseph MO. My uncle (on my mothers side) hand painted the sign work freehand. I remember the truck from when I was a kid. Their place of business no longer stands, so thanks for the photo of the International tow truck.I've passed it along to Rick for his historical research and so he can update the page of our hometown at St Joseph Automotive Related Companies (stjosephmemorylane.com)

Maybe International
Not a International.
1926/27 3/4 ton DCT Graham Brothers 116" wheelbase or possibly a 1 ton BC 126" wheelbase (GBoy). Hard to tell the wheelbases in photos...
Here's a better look at one fitted with tank.

I sold a set of those exterior door handles years ago but never knew what they were for until now.

One of the few company brochures that included paint colors. I'm sure someone will be looking for this.
With a special note for the naysayers who hold the view that a natural finish wasn't factory on wood wheels.
"ALL artillery wood wheels have natural wood spokes unless ordered painted to match the body"

Notice how clean the place is! All workers wearing hats, There are a few things in the floor on the left side . Large windows all around to let Natural light in
The Franklin factory in north Syracuse NY was the same, had huge skylights at the center of the roof in the north part of the building that ran east/west. ( Front of building faced west). and center of building was open to let the light from the skylights shine down. At the Franklin factory all the stair cases were tiled , even the floors to make a daily sweep/clean up go faster. Yes, I was at that factory several times.
So true.
It was a universal thing at the time and still is for folks that don't like chaos and confusion.
Volvo by the way in case anyone is wondering.

I didn't think so, but it was worth a shot.
Good luck Al and kudos for bringing another one back.

The "blueprint" is a good quality hand made item that has lots of layout information but not specific to layout of profile and cutting out. I know how and where to position the ribs and other very valuable information but not profile and contour for cutting. It, the "blue print", refers to actual paper patterns but they didn't come with the "blue print". That said, I reach out to other owners/restorers of screen side trucks to see if someone has patterns I could buy, rent or borrow.

I often wonder how guys did things years ago without the internet. Wouldn't they have just looked for a brochure to see the contour along with the blueprint? I would think that would be enough unless I am misunderstanding other details you may be referring to.

Guessing the gent on his knees in photo 7 is still getting used to his cheaters. Sometimes you have to get down and steady to see things properly, the only problem is getting back up in a few years.... you've been warned.
Great photos, looks like a fun and productive day.
I think I spent more time looking at the parts and the tools in the shop than the work the people were doing.
Sweet anvil stand!

Cornwell 20”w chest. Looking for new owner and she seems rare. Have not found much info. Gf Grandpa was a mechanic after navy duty ww1. She has lotta tools and other vintage tool chests going for sale soon. Thanks for any help or recommendations.

sunset hills, mo.
I'm interested in the Cornwell box for my sign painting items.
If you give me all dimensions and weight I can figure shipping cost from MO to AZ 85028.
Especially need the height of the tallest bottom drawer because it needs to hold 1 pint One Shot paint cans which are 4" tall.

Agreed, here's a clearer detail image.
Great look at the top holder and strap.
No P in Pneumatic... much better without the silent letter.
Thanks for taking a second to post a higher quality view. Really shows how unique it was.
The bubble effect in the F was a touch you don't often see.

Palacio Jackson. 18 de Julio esquina Plaza Cagancha, Montevideo. Circa 1920
The sign work is timeless. Love the highlights that were used... probably one of the more unique Fisk scripts we've seen.

The trailing car has what appears to be a unique Lyon style bumper.
