Artifact Overview
Founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 1900, Mack Brothers Company relocated to Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1905 and became Mack Trucks in 1922. Trucks replaced railroads in the early 20th century for moving raw milk to processing plants. Flatbed trucks hauled milk in traditional cans, but tank trucks proved even more efficient for loading and unloading fluid milk.
