1937 Mack Junior Model 10MF Delivery Truck, "Tech Milk Dairy Products," January 1937
Add to SetSummary
Founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 1900, Mack Brothers Company relocated to Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1905 and adopted the name Mack Trucks in 1922. Motorized trucks began to replace horse-drawn dairy delivery wagons early in the 20th century. Horses were well suited to the frequent stops on a residential delivery route, but trucks provided greater range at lower cost.
